My Most Favorite K frame

[Muley Gil]

Here's my other favorite K-frame.
My M58.

While a great revolver, the M58 is an N frame.

Alas, my favorite K frame wound up with an ex. It was a 4" blue M19 that I had round butted and done an action job on. I fired that one at the po-leese academy, where I earned an NRA police expert rating.

A 15-3 (K996XXX) I got in 2017 at the Orlando show from a competitive shooter for the princely sum of $325. It's had countless rounds through it before me and a couple thousand I've shot. Very hard to pin down a "favorite" K frame, they are like a set of wrenches, each one fits a different need. Joe

I have quite a few more N-frames than I do K-frames, but the K's are great revolvers. I have a .32-20 M&P (1905 4th Change, 1923), a K22 (1948), a .38 M&P (1950), a Model 15-2 (1962), and a Model 19-4 (1977). However, my favorite K-frame is a 1973 Texas Ranger Commemorative Model 19-3. The fit and finish are outstanding, as are the special features and smooth target stocks. I'm a shooter not a collector, and the TR is extremely smooth and accurate and fits my hands perfectly.

Just like Goldilocks said about her bear friends, the K-frame is just right. It was tough to pick out a favorite. The one that makes me grin the most is a 16-2. Possibly to the consternation of some collectors, I shoot it. I handload pipsqueak .32 wadcutters for it. A pound of powder goes a heckuva long way with those tiny charges. It's debatable how much the primer or the powder contributes the most to muzzle velocity.

All of my S&W revolvers are J and K snubs.

My favorite is this 66-4….best, smoothest action of all and really dialed in for accuracy at the range.

I can't enlarge the pic at the moment but the hammer and trigger look case colored. If so I love it. Great gun either way.

My "birth year" gun. This 1947 factory nickel M&P.

I am smitten by this 19-4. It wears ivory stocks, and shows just enough wear that I don't feel bad shooting it, a bit. The blue seems to go as deep as the ocean, and the grips have just the right amount of character.

I like K-frames. Shown with the 19-4: M18 ND, M66ND, and M19-5.

Nothing very pristine but my favorite K frame is this 14-2 with a 5" barrel. It was part of a special order of 2 at the time. Just a joy at the range.

Has to be my 66-4 super k

 

[Moo Moo]

My favourite K Frame is my Model 14-6 PPC gun.

 

[DeplorabusUnum]

My favorite K frame is also a 19-4. Mine is a 6". Here she is wearing a set of grips from bigmtnman.

 

[CALREB]

I really like the 6" model, but I guess the 4" model 14-6 would be my favorite. Great shooters and a lot of fun. Here is my consecutive numbered pair.

 

[Sicumj]

I have many favorites. Usually the one I have in my hand. But came across a model 13-2 and model 10-5 the other day. The only nickel Smith's I own. I did have a nickeled model 15 with a 2.5 inch barrel 40 years ago.

 

[pasound]

I have no "new" K-frames, only J's built in the 70's-on. But I do have four older ones. Three are my favorite .38's. Left to right, my 1913 HE 3rd version, 1948 K-38 Pre-14 Masterpiece, and 1950 Pre-10 M&P. Not pictured is my 1947 K-22 Masterpiece.

Many years ago, when I was being transferred, I got rid of all my S&W "blue boxes" in which my guns came in --- at the time I was just trying to "slim down" my household goods shipment --- now that I look back --- getting rid of the blue boxes was a REALLY DUMB MOVE on my part. Lots of regrets.

 

[garddogg56]

The only K-frame I have left a 66-1 for a reason.

 

[prescobd]

My favorite K frame is my 64-6 that has been re-barreled with a "pencil barrel" shown pictured with a 2 and 3 inch 64-6.

 

[smithra_66]

Good choice. My favorite is my 4" 19-3 or my 6" 14-1!

Hard choice.
