1953 mfr SMITH & WESSON Pre-Model 17 K-22 TARGET MASTERPIECE .22 LR C&R S&W
6” Barrel, Full-Size .22 S, L, Long Rifle Revolver
Here we present a C&R Smith & Wesson K-22 Target Masterpiece Double Action Revolver manufactured in 1953 in Springfield, Massachusetts. This classic Smith & Wesson .22 caliber target revolver had its beginnings back in the early 1930s and is now discontinued, yet it is still an extremely popular item among both shooters and collectors. It serves the needs of target shooters wanting a companion piece to .38 caliber target revolvers as well as filling a niche for a field revolver suitable for small game. In many people’s opinion, a more accurate .22 wheel gun has never been made, and S&W was entirely correct in calling it a "Masterpiece."
In 1927, the Smith & Wesson factory began development of a revolver that would meet these perceived needs. The first batch was completed in January, 1931. The new handgun was introduced to the public and advertised as the K-22 Outdoorsman. The catalog, however, called it the K-22 Target revolver. In later years, collectors have referred to it as the K-22 First Model. In December of 1939, with over 17,000 of the First Model having been produced, the factory began making an improved version. This new revolver was dubbed the K-22 Masterpiece, as S&W thought it was truly the best of all revolvers made to that time. In 1957, when the factory assigned numerical designations for each of its handguns, the K-22 Masterpiece became the Model 17.
The overall condition is fine. Original blue finish with case colors on the hammer and trigger. The action is excellent in double and single action. The bore is shiny bright with sharp rifling. The grips are solid. Numbers match!
Own the original! This firearm is classified as Curio & Relic.
Barrel is 6 inches.
Caliber: .22 Long Rifle Rimfire
Overall condition as seen in photos.
Very Fast. Very Safe. FREE SHIPPING. Will need to be sent to your local FFL or C&R licensee. This firearm is classified as Curio & Relic.
Guaranteed AUTHENTIC & Includes CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY.
