What is the size of the T-grip size for these?

I posted eariler and my thoughts haven't changed much. I bought the K22 because I bought a K38 first and both are 5 screw and they weigh and balance exactly the same. To me the K22 or Model 17 6 inch maybe the perfect range revolver because at my age I need all the sight radius I can get. That said for packing in a holster on a field trip the Model 18 wins everytime.

K22

Model 17-4

Model 18-3

VERY nice collection of K .22's

I'll Take An 18 Please.....

This is my current pre-18. I used to have an 18-3 but my buddy wouldn't quit pesterin' me, so I sold it to him, just so he would shut up.

You can't go wrong with an 18, Ned

Nearly a toss-up. I vote 18 unless you are after a longer barrel.

You did very well with that 17-2, I have them in all three barrel lengths in both LR and WMR. While they look kind of unweildly the 8 3/8 balance suprisingly well in the hand and are great long range plinkers. Next a model 45 or pre 45 (I wish).

Short

Medium

Long

You know you want all 3

Well , I don't own a Model 17 but this is my first Model 18 I purchased. I have since gotten a couple more Model 18's and they are excellent shooters, all of them.

Yes , the grips really are that dark and probably have been refinished but . They fit and feel just fine.
