my 617

I would show you a picture of my brand new 617 6"but I had to send it back to S&W after I noticed the barrel was over tightened(so much for Quality control) very dissapointed.

Heres my 2yr old M-617 10 shooter and it's a blast to shoot. Now looking for a nice K-22 now

I'll play

Here are my two (for now)
My wife and I wed in 1984 and have been happily married for three years :-0 First time I met her Dad, he introduced me to this model 63. He had a paper plate target with a group a quarter would cover that she had shot with it. He was some kind of proud. She got it after he passed in 2004. Since she and I have twins ( sons ) it was plain as day I HAD TO HAVE another J frame .22 in 4" so the hunt was on. Oct 08 I scored this 34-1 at a local pawn shop with box and all goodies. So now the boys can argue over the color..... Heavy Sigh
Anyway my collecting sort of follows a pairs theme, these two...Wifes model 60 3" .38spl and my 36-1 3" blue ... my 19-3 4" nickel and my 19-4 4" blue etc...
So with no more ado, my 22"s

i have a well used but descent shape 4" model 63.

id love to be able to afford a 2" model 63 or model 34....but me thinks a old charter arms pathfinder will have to fill the void.

I lucked into my first one late last year. More to follow, I'm sure. A 1980 Model 48-4 With .22 MAG and .22 LR cylinders. The Magnas are numbered to the gun.

A temporal anomaly - I hope I can still share

Born in 1953 so it's a bit out of place but I hope no one minds.

There's some real beauties, in here. Sky-rocketing ammo prices led me to puchase my first .22LR; a M43. I enjoy shooting it so much that I gave it some company in the form of a 1948 K-22 and somewhat newer M63.

S&W Model 34-1

I just picked this up today.

I haven't seen many like it and I'm looking forward to shooting it tomorrow, weather permitting.

Paid $400 which seemed to be a really good price to me.

Interesting gun, can you tell us about it?
Did you have it round butted?
