Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Rimfires S&W K22 Revolver

Very nice pieces folks - not much more fun that can be had than spending a few hours, or whatever you can, in an afternoon burning some rounds plinking.........if not hunting with a nice Smith 22 of whatever persuasion!

A 5-screw from the mid 50s with lots of holster wear.

Longarm, great picture, kind of says it all. That holster is very nice. The revolver is even better.

Perfection.

Some Beaut-ee-ful pieces.

I've got a 17-3.

Another 5 screw

Got a ‘46 five screw, lots of holster wear but it’s a great revolver.

5 screws are getting more respect as collectors. As they should.

Maybe not quite up there with those Colt ponies, but pretty strong.

Here's an 8 3/8" pair, K-38 and K-22, both with target hammers and triggers. I made these grips to fit my hand, wrinkle paint not the prettiest. But I have EOM grips. Not 5 screw but keepers. Probably '60's vintage. I think 5 screw guns are from the '50's..

Nice revolvers guys...

Been shooting this a lot during the Pandemic. Stocks are ugly, but hey, they work.

My old 17-3, another member of the ugly grip club

Thanks for all the information and ideas.. Holy cow... Been looking at GB, but will start to hit the local shops next week after I get the all clear.. Much appreciated!!

I have a pair, but with 6" barrel. both are from the very late 60's bought the 38 new as a college graduation present to myself, the K 22 from an Air Force NCO I was working with as new 2nd Lt. He had an interest in a pawn shop and brought it in and showed me, literally a 100% gun, said the original purchaser did not think it exciting enough, but it was exciting enough to make it into my small accumulation. At my next base I managed to get a couple of sets of the large Magna grips.

I have a 6" barrel model17 I bought early 80s. I have shot a brick through it in a day many times. When I first got it it was my favorite thing I owned. I recommend one.

its not a kit gun, but yes...you need one.

We have a local shop that is on guns international, he has 17s and 34s in superb condition along with a ton of other smiths and colt revolvers, but you'll pay up for them. If you aren't finding the quality you are looking for, shoot me and I'll give you his info. He will sell them less that what is posted on guns international, just have to haggle some.

Thanks guys, I am buying a model 17-3 locally here.. It's at a local shop for $699.00.. spoke for a model 63 and paid for it, have to go pick it up locally as well..

Thanks to you all!!!

I have a 5-screw pre-M17, an M34 NIB, an M35, and an M63. The 6" M35 is the one that strikes my fancy.

Same grip I have on my 4" M18.
Too ashamed to show it (even if I knew how), as it rides in a ranch truck.
Missing some blue, and gets blown off with the air compressor to start the rare cleaning!

I have a 5 screw K22 that will be here tomorrow and a M18 on the way. I seem to be replacing the 22's I sold off in my misspent youth. LOL My next 22 will be a Kit gun. With ammo the way it is it's hard to justify $50+ for a box of 9MM or 45's to go plink with. I'm enjoying the rediscovery of the 22LR. I have a 4 inch 617 but damn that thing is heavy.

I’m with ya in replacing previously sold guns - man what an expense that can turn into.
