Sarge, what can I say? You scored!
I have an early '80's K-22. It's a nice little pistol but it doesn't like cheap ammo. It will split thin cases making them very difficult to eject.And there, sitting forlorn in a case, was this! View attachment 146896
So what was I supposed to do? I 'needed' the Ruger but a 1948 S&W K-22 Masterpiece? On sale because no-one else wanted it?

I got my first black powder revolver this week, a Pietta replica of the Colt 1851 Navy. It sure is pretty, I love the open top Colts! I'm looking forward to making big smoke puffs at the range later this week!
I've also been rolling some paper cartridges for it so I can spend less time reloading, and more time shooting, at the range. 36 cal Hornady ball over 20 grains of 3F GOEX black powder. View attachment 152110 View attachment 152111 View attachment 152112
I have one that I picked up used in 1970 and it looked like new so maybe very late 60's model. I have never had any problem with any ammo in mine. A couple of years prior to that I had bought a new K 38 as a college graduation present for myself.I have an early '80's K-22. It's a nice little pistol but it doesn't like cheap ammo.
