this thread makes me miss my mod 41

 

[PALADIN85020]

I have a few .22 S&Ws. Economical to shoot, compared to the centerfires, and a lot of fun:

First is a Model 48-2:

Next, a Model 41:

A couple of 17s and an 18:

A Model 22/32:

A Model 34 Kit Gun:

And finally, a Model 317:

My only 2 Smith .22s. Nothing beats the classic lines of a Smith Revolver.

Although I follow this thread from the start, being a .22lr nut, it just occurred to me that I did not post pictures myself!

My Model 34 Flatlatch with Tyler's T-grip:

The now-gone 617:

Again,with Diamond stocks fitted:
(I kept the stocks for my not-yet-in-the-house Model 18-2)

A couple here.

K22 (4-screw pre 17)

Still working on my photography skills, but pictures are always better than none.
Kind regards,

Heres mine, not a very good picture I'm afraid.

Proudly presenting my "new" Model 18-2:

This thread should be kept alive and kicking!

So, here they are, my Model 18-2 with the Model 34:

I've really enjoyed the pictures on this thread. Question: what is the difference between a M34 and a M43? They look the same to me.

They look the same, yes.
One could almost think it was a typing-error by looking at them, but you would feel it when you pick them up!
The 43 is the lightweight version

I posted a couple of Prewar Kit Guns higher in this thread. Here are a couple of K-22s that live with me now, a First model from 1934 and an early production Third Model from 1947.

I also have a couple of other five-screw K-22s. Here's one from 1953 sporting left-hand Roper thumbrest target stocks.

I've got to believe there are more S&W .22s in my future, but I need to hold off on these for a while so I can touch up some other holes in my collection.
