Who can’t pass up a K-22 ?

The only thing sweeter than a high-condition vintage K-22 is a high-condition vintage K-22 with the box and accessories. Congrats! Very nice

model 17 is the best.

Have had 3 over last 63 years. Still have last one.
First one in 1957. Bought it from a gunsmith that converted it to center fire K-hornet. Bought it for groundhogs. shot as small as 3 inch group at 100 yard. I think the gun would have done better but even 17 year old eyes and hands could not do that all the time.
Sold it because I became a little afraid of the 2 ft diameter ball of flame out of cylinder gap in broad daylight and shooting it over top of car chipped a line of paint off.
Second one in 70's. Kept it for years and taught my 2 kids to shoot with it. Don't even know why I got rid of it, stupid.
Finally bought last one 5-10 years ago (made in 1960) for my wife as she would not give up my model 14 38 and I love shooting that gun.
Now both 17 and 14 (made in 1949, year I stared high school) are are "target" model with target trigger and hammer. Going to have to pry both out of my cold dead fingers.

This was my dad's, circa 1947. The box is marked 6-inch, but he told me it was cut down at some point before he got it. S/N K139xx.

I know! I added this K22 (shipped 1/53) last month. It joins my 17-4 and 617-6, K22 CM (and the 22/32 HFT, Mod 34-1 and 63-1). This one now has the finest trigger of all of them, It only needed a little help.

Quick question? What did you do to get such a great trigger? Is this a Smith&Wesson custom shop job? Or did you work on it yourself? Have a 1980s 17-? That could use some love. Have been debating sending it to Smith &Wesson for a few years, always find something else to buy instead of taking the time. Thank you in advance, Jared

S&W Model 17s and 18s are the cream of the crop as far as quality .22 caliber revolvers are concerned.
Here's a couple of mine. I call them grandpa and grandson...

Grabbing most any K22 is a no brainer. A nice one such as yours is even better. Good job.
