The weight of a steel 1911 (I KNOW , IF IT AIN'T STEEL , IT AINT A 1911} and the 9mm cartridge are a great combo, however if they put in a scaled down version, smaller than a 45, bigger than a 380, I would be a buyer.

Scott, that seems to fit right in with what I see at gun ranges. The middle aged shooters with experience are the best shots most of the time.

The only problem PIller, is that I passed middle age almost 20 years ago!

I still shoot my .38 Special or 45 Colt as well as I ever did... just can't seem to do it as long! This past Saturday, I had a harder time than I've ever had with my support hand shoulder.

Nothing wrong with a K 22 but this was years ago ;-)

I love a good K frame .22. But then again, I like just about anything in a K frame.

A well built and well designed .22 that is accurate is a real joy.

If I could pick any 22 cal. in the world a S&W K22 would be it!

JOG: I have a K22 (M17) and its brother, the M18. Both are sweet shooters. Just as with my M14 and M15, I really cannot determine which I like best.
The most important aspect of this signature line is that you don't realize it doesn't say anything significant until you are just about done reading it & then it is too late to stop reading it....
