I’ve kinda wanted a 22 revolver for a while. Found this from an estate sale.


Shot it it’s fun.

Very nice, here's my 17-2 with the grips supplied by Beltfed21, it came with rubber grips, the wood looks better. Update 1955 vintage production..

K-22, 1957 production

Those are beauties!

Very nice looking gun. It appears to be in great shape.Congrats.

I purchased a Model 17-3 about 1974. Brand new, target hammer and trigger. It had the standard grips, but I traded them to the dealer for a set of target grips. K-22s were not easy to find then.I still have it. I have no idea how many rounds I have put thru it. That was one of my best gun purchases. You will be very happy with it. Congratulations.

Fuzzy Farrant,

that's a name not heard often anymore (if ever)


don't have a pic, but my 17-? full lug, standard target stocks, and a heckofa trigger job is way way more accurate that I ever will be

Love those S&W .22's....but prefer the shorter bbl. for field carry...S&W called it the Model 18...Best regards and Merry Christmas, Rod

Great looking revolvers guys. I love the old Smiths, awesome finish and target grips perfect set up!

Fantastic model 17.

Just pure classic goodness right there.

Wow, very nice.

I'd love to find one of those around my parts.

So come on, how many $$ did that thing set you back?

I picked up a new 17–9 back in 2021 and paid $756. At the time I wanted a 22 revolver with a 6 inch barrel, I really wanted one of the stainless steel models with the full lug, but could not find any nearby, and if I could, they were hundreds of dollars more.

One of my favorite 22 pistols to shoot always goes bang and is a tach driver.

Bought one years ago at our club, a members father had passed away and it was pretty much a fire sale. Accurate as all get out but has some pretty tight chambers, i use match .22 and no issues

Yep...S&W .22 revolvers are fun...pretty gun. Enjoy it!

K22 from 1956 and Mod 63 from 1982

Love the 17 here. I picked up a 1947 or ‘48-vintage K22 a short while back that has become a favorite. It’s great on its own at the range and even better as a warm-up when shooting centerfire DA revolvers.

Shown here with a set of period-correct Target stocks, the gun came to me with its original Magna stocks (serial-numbered to the gun).

Yes, the same with mine. The stocks shown in the photo are serial'd, and they are off one of the first Combat Magnums.
