Many years ago I purchased a used K-22 for $200.00 and about 15 years ago (when I had younger eyes) our family was attacked by a rouge rodent (field mouse). When said rodent was busy chewing on a Styrofoam peanut, I let 'em have it!

 

Anybody else have an older classic .22 wheelgun, and how good do you shoot with it? Great plinker!

I wish I did, that would be a nice addition to any collection and would be a good buy today at twice the price you paid from what have seen some of them selling for.

 

But forget that, you want to make a quick hundred bucks?? lol

 

Missed you last night, good thing, I had 2 mags that the follower bound up on me and had to drop both of them and clear the jam before I got my second shot off, wouldn't have had that problems with a wheelgun.

 

Harry

Missed you guys too. The Boss (SWMBO) wanted to go out to dinner last night after a chop-bustin' week at work, so we went out......

 

She deserves all of the love I can give her, as she's a keeper!

 

Sorry about the jammaramma. Do you have a magazine brush yet?? Or was it a bent follower and not dirt? What kinda gun?? I have a mag brush that I could bring with me tomorrow to the outdoor range, as I'm mentoring the 14 year old in the Dark Arts. Let me know if you're going to shoot the Steel Match and I'll bring my mag brush. It works good for .45 ACP mags & might fit yours too....

S&W Pre-model 34 22/32 Kit Gun. Built on the I-frame (predecessor to the J-frame)...

 

 

...and I shoot it like I do all my other handguns, and that's all I'm sayin" (people who know, know).

 

Adios,

 

Pizza Bob

Nice Kit Gun! And since I don't know how you shoot, then I just don't know, LOL!

 

I got people too, LOL!

I have one of them keepers also and understand. Like they say if momma ain't happy nobody's happy.

 

I think I figured out the problem, mags are for a CZ 75 TS, Had a little play with the top bullet and figured the top ears of the mag weren't holding well enough to only feed one round at a time and was allowing a second to get try and get chambered. Tightened them up a little and it worked fine on the next stage.

 

Harry

Glad that you fixed it! I hate it when my lips spread wide open, LOL!

 

Coming-out to play tomorrow?

Coming-out to play tomorrow?

 

Maybe after I get off of work I might stop by the range but that won't be until after 1500 and that depends on if the wife and kid want to shoot outside or indoors.

 

Either way, I will get out there, I want to meet this kid your are mentoring, he sound like a good kid.

 

Harry

We might still be at it at 15:00, but I'm not sure--it's all up to him. He's going for his Expert Rank in ML Rifle with the NRA Qualification Program.

 

Hope to see ya tomorrow.

 

Dave

I'll see if I can work it out, I just might take a ride over there on the bike just to say hi if I am free at 1500.

The k-22 is my favorite .22 revolver, my friend has one, and refuses to sell it to me, which i would buy in a heartbeat.

I have a model 41 that I thoroughly enjoy exercizing. I wanted a wheel gun and the K22 (Model 17 Masterpiece) is what immediately came to mind. I looked at a friend's Model 17 that was about 20 years old...... A nice looking gun with a good feel. Unfortunately,it was a bummer for me, as the grip design was such that the knuckle on my middle finger would rub against the trigger guard! I tried a current encarnation of the Model 17, hoping that S&W might have tweaked the design, but alas, that was pure folly. Same knuckle interence problem with the currently available Model 17 version.

 

I've had to shift my thinking to the model 317. Not a "classic" by any means, but it is sure a lot more comfortable in my hand! I'm trying to get used to the look of stainless steel, 10 rounds and a synthetic handle!

I have to find my grandparents Colt Officers Model Match 22lr, pics later.
