A shooter grade ( at shooter grade price!) 2" 34 still eludes me, and right now my only smith 22 revolver is your standard plain Jane 1966 era 17(dash 2 or 3 I think). I prefer blued and hate the fact the 10 shot guns are not available blued(I did see one used at one time and kick myself for not buying it, only one I have ever seen) plus not much for the full
Lugged barrels either.

My new to me M53...:

I was out dinging around in the garage and found 5 bricks of these, I totally forgot about (check out the sale price of these!):

Took these to the range today and put 100 rds Fed Automatch and 500rds Winchester M22 through them. Both shot great and the M22 was easier to eject from the K22 than anything I tried before. Everything ejects good from the 617.

Here is my 18-4.

I just bought a Model 650 in 22 Mag, but it's currently serving a 10 day sentence in the California jail.

I'll post a picture when it gets out.

I joined my local PD back in 1978 and we started revolver training with the S&W M18 in 22LR. Later, we were issued the S&W M15 in .38 Special. After I graduated, I bought this revolver to save on training ammo costs. That didn't work out too well as I soon discovered reloading for my .38 Special.

A couple of years later I tried to sell it. There were no takers. Lucky me, I still own it and don't ask.....it's NOT for sale.

Aloha, Mark

My first K22 , a 1950 with Fitz grips. I was warned here that these things multiply. Recently acquired 1956 K22 with non relieved targets. Have yet to shoot the 56 but look forward to it.

I formerly had nine S&W .22 LR or .22 WMR revolvers, however I sold the too beautiful to shoot safe queens and kept my shooting stable.

My first S&W .22 a 617 no dash I purchased new near the beginning of production. Best shooting of any .22 revolver I've ever owned too.

The oldest S&W .22 I own, a K-22 from 1951

17-8 with factory replaced stainless steel cylinder. I've mounted a different scope in a Leupold mount since I took this photo.

The newest S&W .22 and a superb shooter, my 617-6 made in 2010.

Finally, the model 63 no dash I just scored for my wife!
