Old S&W K-22

[popplecop]

Picked up a pre Model 17 today. Nice old 5 Screw Smith, ser. no. range 17000, serial no. on the grips matches the gun, old diamond style. Proberly 85-90%, locks up, smooth action. I have a thing for the old 5 screw models, have an N frame in 357 (27), old M&P (10), Combat Masterpiece (15) and know the K22 (17).. All of these are prior to model numbers. I've always admired the workmanship in these Smiths, to me they are the best. Going to shoot it in the morning with different ammo and then the squirrels better look out.
