S&W revolvers which .22s top of your list

[Smithjj]

Interested in knowing what goes to the top of your list regarding S&W revolvers - time period 1960-1980. This would include all models chambered in .22 long rifle and .22 Magnum.

This could be guns you own or desire to own, collectible guns, shooters, etc. Including configuration would be great...what makes them special to you....

I am just starting to learn about S&W and appreciate you taking the time to respond.

Thanks in advance,

Jim

Model 18 is my favorite.

17-6 with full under lug and 4" barrel. Perfect weight, balance and trigger (for me).

I have two. An 18-4 from 1982 and a two inch 63-3 from 1991. I'm good to go unless I find a K-22/17 reasonable.

My first firearm was model 17, maybe it is still favorite .22

Now have one S&W .22 revolver 17-5 and one pistol 2206, I like both

I have an old shooter grade K22 Masterpiece and I like it a lot.

I want a 317 to carry around the farm. I also want to try out a 351PD in 22mag.

17's go to the top of my list.

Configured with nice grips.

If you want to shoot a lot the 617 10 shot is pretty tough to beat.

I would like every single model smith and Wesson produced between 1960-1980. What makes them special is that they are Smith and Wesson.

I have a K17-3 that I enjoy shooting very much. Much more accurate than I am!

My K-22 Masterpiece that was shipped 4 days before I was born in 1952.

I have a model 18 with full target, RR and WO verified by box label that is a favorite.

 

[alwslate]

I have a 2" 34-1 RB. a pre 34 2" RB, an 18-4 with TH &TT, and a pre 17 from 1953 I think. My favorite is the 18-4.

My 617-6. I love it and I have never gone to the range without it since purchasing it last summer.

My only 22 revolver is a 17-4 Target hammer trigger grips given to me at a low low price of $300 USD from a friends wife. It was a family piece that she had no interest in keeping. I tried to pay her more but she didn't want it. Found out later she hated guns and new I would buy it. She figured at least I would never let it go.
Her words, my gain and she was right never going to sell it.

I also have an 18 that I'm quite fond of.

Shameless repost.......34's-63's-pre 18 CM-nickel 18........Somewhere around here is a pre 17--17 and a 41....They don't like posing for pics. Guess I like S&W .22's.

S&W revolvers which .22s top of your list

I have an early pre model 18 with a nice patina (and a pair of 50s Rugers )

and I’d like a pre war outdoorsman to go with it (though I doubt I could see the sights!)

 

[THE PILGRIM]

Model 17.
All Day Long.

 

[Bullet Bob]

The one Registered Magnum made on order in .22 long rifle. If I had that, I could finally buy a Porsche. Or a Ford Mustang GTD Spirit of America.

For shooting, a K 22/model 17 with a "regular" barrel.

 

[steelslaver]

Round butted model 18 with a model 53 barrel and a cylinder in 22 mag
