This is a birth year (1955) CM I lucked into last year in a multi gun purchase. It has a TH and a TT but notice the wear on the side of the trigger, any ideas as to what may have caused that? Not really concerned as I paid too little for the gun but curious nonetheless.
thanks, Rob

Could be. I don't have the gun in hand but I see the same thing on the hammer. I know that the previous owner liked to have his guns "fine tuned".

I have been amazed at the accuracy of mine as others have mentioned. About 1952 production, it wears Pointer Pup plastic grips but I also have a set of correct (unnumbered) wood grips.

Its a spectacular gun. I was shipped in January of 1948, too.
But now for the problem (not sour grapes). I hope you've got the letter (what day in 48?) When Jim Supica actually announces he and Rick are coming out with a 4th edition, send a copy of that letter to them. Then help try to get the table of ship dates to serials revised. The table everyone has been printing is just wrong. Your's proves the point.

Both of these K-22's date to 1951. The top is an early serial #, is a sold 95-97% with numbers matching stocks. Traded in a shooter grade 1954 era to get this high grade example. Bottom one is 90-95% with original gold box and numbers matching magna stacks. Pictured wearing a set of shooter grade walnut diamond target stocks. Both are great shooters too.

K22 which shipped in June 1958 pictured with everything I got with it. The gun is a K22, not a Model 17, so it must either have been made at the latest in 1957 and sat around the factory awhile or have been assembled with parts made well before the ship date. It shoots great!

K2414-my father in law's good friend & hunting partner ordered this revolver as soon as he returned home after WW II. Colorado Saddlery gun rug.
These next 2 photos are with my new iPad-too hot to photograph outside where I normally set up. I'll find the right lighting eventually.
A model 17, 1958 production with numbered grips & box.
1953 Combat Masterpiece with numbered grips.

Pa's gun. My squirrel gun. Not shiny, not 100% blue. Gray and pitted. It's perfect.

Here's my humble submission. K-22 #20,918. Shipped to Kelam Hardware in Roanoke VA on May 20, 1948. I swapped a Model 48 for it in 1972, and felt I got the better end of the deal; mostly because .22 Magnum ammo was $3.00 / box at the time and I could barely afford to feed that model 48. The trade took place in Troutville, not 20 miles from where the gun originally shipped to.
It's not in as fine a shape as many of the beauties shown on this thread, but the wear that's been put on it was mostly done by me; either carrying it on a trapline, walking in the woods, plinking, or more recently shooting steel plates. Best of all, I don't have to worry about getting a mark on it while shooting it. For 40 years it has unquestionably been my favorite firearm, though lately my Pre M-27 has been giving me second thoughts.

I'm glad this thread was brought back up. There are some real stunners here!
I'd forgotten about Drew's gun that's still in Cosmoline--wow!
It's also interesting that there's more than one poster who's found that their four inch CM/18 is more accurate than their six inch guns. In my small sample, two six inch K22s and one 22 CM, the same thing is true.
Surely there's more out there!
