Ultimate pre-61 K-22 showcase.

Here is my 3 digit k22 #439. Got about 700 into it with the box and screw driver. I have since replaced the grips shows with period correct magnas.

Great thread, great guns!!!

Bought the Masterpiece from a local dealer. It was marked "Model 17". Its serial #, K 1757XX, places it very early 1953.. maybe the first day of production???
Traded a LNIB 4" 28-2 for the Combat Masterpiece (also 1953). The Target grips look like they belong on the 6", but they were with the gun so they stay. K 1877XX

Just an old rusty shooter that cleaned up pretty good. My favorite kind, by the way...

My only Smith 22 is a 17-2. I can't for the life of me remember where I got it. I didn't even know I had it, but I was checking my safe back in KY while I was home on leave and found it in it's box. I know it's mine, but I don't know when or how I got it! I know I haven't shot it either. Next time I'm home, I'm taking it out on the back porch for some play time.

A pic of my 1953 pre 18, with a few of my other toys.

I found this gun in the rafters of a basement when I was helping my dad's friend set up for an estate sale. I reached in and saw a gold box, picked it up, and it was heavy. the revolver was wrapped in parachute silk and had a box of remington 22L with it. Dad's friend sold it to My dad, I wasn't old enough to own a gun, and I bought it from dad about a year and a half ago. Easily the most accurate guns I've ever fired, and the story means that it will never leave.

This Outdoorsman has been in my family since new (around 1936). Box, tools, documents fuggadaboutit. Life time of shooting fun and thousand of rounds downrange, you bet:

You cracked me up!! Nice guns.

PS - You need to send some of your "extra" leather my way. It looks like it is taking over. I promise to treat it well.

I got started a little late in life on this K-22 Quest, nothing amazing yet but I'm proud of them anyway. I mainly love to shoot them, wonderful little pistols...I forgot how much fun shooting a .22 can be. One is a '48, the other is a '53
