Smith & Wesson model 17 (K-22) .22 rimfire double action revolver.
1959 vintage S&W M17 .22 revolver intro, shooting from the bench for groups, and some offhand shooting at a metallic silhouette and a coke can.
This is the second video on vintage .22's, the first being the video I did on the Winchester model 74. Other vintage .22 videos may or may not follow, depending...............

  • i have 1 it was pass to me it was originaly owned by my grand father i believe if a pre war acquired my relatives said many of those were xported here in the philippines some said they shoot japanese soldiers in the eyes bcoz it s so accurate! nice video!

  • @flowercy17 yes it probably could hit a jap in the eye.

  • I've got one of these, and it is an awesome gun. I shoot Steel Challenge matches with it (yes, it is a 6 shot) and routinely beat folks using semi auto 10 shots. The gun is totally stock. The stock trigger is not the lightest in the world, but is very smooth. You can't beat a S&W revolver!

    Thanks for the video.

  • @swirlup Mine's got an awesome trigger, too. It's over 50 years old so it didn't have to be lawyer proofed at the factory and it's had all this time to get even better from use.

  • This is a classic target revolver from the days when there were many bullseye shooting clubs in the U.S. Many preferred to shoot revolvers because at that time the choice in .22 target semi-automatics was limited to the Colt Woodsman, very expensive or the Ruger Standard model that had fixed sights.

    The K-22 could hold it's own against any target pistol available in those days. It was a high precision firearm. i am proud to have owned one for forty years.

  • @oldeafcoot High Standard made some good .22 auto target pistols back in the old days, too.
