S&W K-22 First Model Outdoorsman

Calfed · February 10, 2017, 01:41 AM

I glommed this S&W .22 Outdoorsman this weekend at an auction. Only have the auction pics at this time...

DaleA · February 10, 2017, 05:09 PM

Beautiful!

I've often thought it would be nice to have a swing out cylinder. That one would satisfy me as much as a new S&W 617 10-shot.

Driftwood Johnson · February 10, 2017, 05:17 PM

Hmmmm...........looks strangely familiar.

Did you get it yet?

Calfed · February 10, 2017, 05:36 PM

Thanks, guys!

Yep, Driftwood...I guess I'm pretty proud of it. Might have gone overboard posting it around the forums.

Driftwood Johnson · February 10, 2017, 10:20 PM

So did you get it yet?

Does it have the Call front sight?

Calfed · February 10, 2017, 11:43 PM

Has not arrived yet. What does the Call front sight look like?

Here is an auction picture of the front sight

Outstanding...pure eye-candy for those of us that are Old-Smith lovers. Rod

Like this.

A stainless disk inlet into the rear face of the front sight. Sometimes gold or ivory. I think I see a hint of it in your photo.

I bought something similar to put on my M-21 classic but don't remember it called a Call. It doesn't pick up the glare like the half moon original did.

Driftwood, I think you are right.

Ricklin · February 13, 2017, 03:05 PM

Sure looks like it to me. Congrats, that's a beaut. Do you mind sharing what the $$$ damage to the ol toy fund was?

Calfed · March 28, 2017, 09:37 PM

I finally got to bring the Outdoorsman home.

The grips are in excellent shape and numbered to the revolver.

Bluing and metal match the condition of the grips

Except for a nasty patch of pitting on the barrel

A little 'character' never hurt a gun. It's less likely to become a safe queen.

You ARE going to shoot it aren't you? Looking forward to a range report.

Calfed · March 28, 2017, 11:09 PM

Definitely going to shoot it.

CajunBass · March 29, 2017, 04:40 AM

Not bad. Not bad a'tall.

Driftwood Johnson · March 29, 2017, 08:45 AM

Howdy

I'd like to see a photo of that Call sight.

reddog81 · March 29, 2017, 09:37 AM

That's a nice looking .22 in amazing condition. I'll need to keep my eye out for one of those. My 1920's M&P Target in 38 needs a companion.

Here ya go, DJ...

James K · March 30, 2017, 04:46 PM

I think that dates to 1938. I'm pretty sure the front sight is not factory.
