Two S&Ws Part Deux: K-22 and 625 Mountain Gun
As noted in another recent post featuring this K-22, I’ve been practicing with said gun toward being a better revolver shooter.

In a recent session, the K-22 was paired with a 625 Mountain Gun in .45 ACP. I’m not the original owner of either wheelgun, but I’ve been enjoying them both a lot. Moon-clips are so handy and fun to use!

Grips on the 625 are from Ahrends.

Both guns as pictured are quite dirty and are slated for cleaning soon.

I like how you roll with the Model 625 in .45 ACP! It's one of my favorite N-frame choices for carry.

^^ Many thanks - I like those grips and front sight on yours!

I've said it before....but you, sir, have excellent taste in guns! Both of these are on my short list (although I want the mountain gun in .45 Colt)....just waiting for the right deal to come along.

^^ Thank you so much! I’ve seen / read / heard many, many good things about the .45 Colt cartridge, I suspect you’ll love it when you find that right Mountain Gun!

Back to the range recently with these two. Worked on mostly 2-shot strings, shot from low-ready with the K-22 and from concealment with the 625. Gunleather for the 625 was a Milt Sparks Summer Special and “Moon Pouches” from Jeffrey Custom Leather. Reloading of the K-22 was simply from the ammo boxes, one of which was purchased five years back haha...

Two favorites!

Here's mine:





It's in 45LC.


Model 18





Both real fun and accurate.

These two are my favorites for introducing handguns for former non-shooters:

1947 K-22 Masterpiece


1980 8” Python - starting out with mild .38 Spl. loads

^^ Love it @Z06! I like that “one-line address” on your K-22; mine has the same. Mine dates to ‘47, too.

Whoa! Some very nice revolvers in this thread.

^^ Indeed! I’m glad there is so much fondness for the revolver here!
