Show off those K frames

[David LaPell]

I only have a pair,

One being my late 1940's vintage Military & Police .38 Special

The other being my old M & P .32-20 with a Wondersight. One of the most accurate revolvers I have ever shot.

Model 10-6

Model 10-5

Model 12 "no dash"

I'm currently pondering a square butt 64 with a 4" standard barrel to add to the collection...

Well now, since you've asked....my photographic skills are not up to this task, but I will attempt to impress by volume, if not by quality of composition:
Some shiny ones:

Some duplicated integration:

Some fixed-sighted ones:

Some target-sighted ones:

A whole pile of snubbies:

And a whole menagerie:

I shall not inflict you with my redundant and much ballyhooed displays of K22's. Suffice it to say that they have been overdone. -S2

Well, this topic proved illuminating in ways I didn't foresee. I like N-frames and I-frames, but I didn't realize until I started taking stock how many K-frames I have added to the heap. I am still under a dozen, but its amazing how opportunity purchases will inflate the holdings while one is not really paying attention.

Today I feel more affection for these two guns than for the others, but if you check with me next week the K-22s may be back on top, or even the 1905 Target or the badly renickeled .32-20. (Like the OP, I find my .32-20 a hoot to shoot, and I probably ought to pick up a wondersight for it.)

The early: a M&P Model of 1902 First Change with a slightly worn surface and excellent internals. Shipped 1904. I haven't shot this one yet, but I'm looking forward to it.

And the scarce: A K-32 Masterpiece (Pre-16) from early 1949. I have shot this one, and it is a delight to work with. This gun prints better for me than any of the K-22s and K-38s I have.

Since I mentioned the .32-20 and I kind of like it, I'll throw its picture on the screen as well. The action is sound and the bore and chambers bright. But that is really a sloppy renickel job. This is my ugly duckling K-frame. Shipped 1915.

a factory engraved, nickel-plated, and pearl-stocked Model of 1902.

Early post war 6 inch M&P looks unfired

5 inch M&P .32 S&W long caliber with box

Semperfi:

What is the gun you have posted ? I note the name of the photo
is Foreign SW Clone, or something like that.

I'm curious about the pinned front sight blade .

Later, Mike Priwer

[DCWilson]

5 inch M&P .32 S&W long caliber with box

I don't think I knew until this moment that a fixed-sight K-frame revolver in .32 Long even existed. From the gold and yellow box I take it this is a postwar gun. Do we know how many of these were manufactured, and when they were being shipped?

I think I just recognized another gun that I really want.
