More .22LR, M63

[Sportsterguy]

Cannot wait for my snub 34 to arrive. Love them Herretts! Have a pair on a nickle 586 and they are great.

Beautiful engraved revolver!

 

[Jimmy Bones]

Here is my 63, still looking for a big brother for it.

If one is good, two is better.

Herrett's Grips!

Since you mentioned 34s, here's mine. Had it since the late 70s. It's been on numerous motorcycle adventures, Elk hunts, cattle drives and ATV excursions.

Larry:

Like you, I love those Herrett's grips! And that's why a few years ago I ordered a few sets of them for my Ruger Speed-Sixes and for my Model 63(no dash#)! For my 63, I also have a set of Hogue and the same for Badger.

Nice Herretts and nice snubs!

One thing you may have noticed with the pictures here is the larger grips on most of them. The factory grips are really too small for most people, and adding a Tyler T grip helps, but larger grips are a big advantage to being able to shoot them well. I seem to be able to shoot my 63 as well as my Mod. 17.

I have a few J 22s,including a 63.Haven't tried any of them-they're still new,unfired.I really like K22s,but I don't think I can let the Js go either.

 

[Smithboomer]

I have two Model 63s for new shooters. I personally prefer a K-frame .22 but my students seem to like the J-frame guns. I have Pachmayrs on one and a set of larger S&W factory stocks on the other. I also have a 2" Model 34 that sometimes comes to class as a training gun for folks planning to buy a J-frame .38 .

I don't have one of those sweet little J frame .22s but I do have an I frame .22 and just love it, all I really use it for is plinking and teaching young first time shooters. Just this afternoon it was used as a teaching tool for a first time shooter, buy the end of the day he was shooting the K38.

Here's my model 63

About 20 years old.

I like the J Frame targets with these little revolvers. Gives more to hold onto, but still not too bulky.

Flat Latch 34

As I really love shooting my Model 34, a picture of it should be in this thread too:

It is a wonderful, great shooting revolver.
As my right arm only has about 40% of its normal lifting capacity because of a _what seems everlasting- tennis-arm, I find myself shooting it a lot lately, it shoots really well.
On a good day I can do up to 4 in a hole/line- at least the 4 holes are touching each other.
I can only do that (and sometimes somewhat better) with the Model 18-2 for about two cilinders in a row, than the extra weight starts to bother.

Together with my Model 18-2, the difference in size is quite obvious:

 

[ENGINE18]

Smith357, that's a VERY nice I-frame!

 

[Smith357]

Smith357, that's a VERY nice I-frame!

Thank you, she is a great little companion piece/training tool. Though I do have a hankering for the more maintenance free Model 63 the little I frame will do just fine until I find that 63 at a price I'm willing to pay.

This one belongs to the War Department.

I got stuck with this one.

 

[LEO918]

Have a 63 with 4" tube and a pre 43 with 3 1/2" barrel. Plink with the 63 and pack the pre 43.

 

[james56]

This is a 40 yr. old M-34-1

 

[ENGINE18]

I knew if I waited, more J22s would come along!

 

[Centenniel]

I have a 4" Model 63. it is an excellent kit gun.
