I was pretty happy to find this one recently. She's in great shape and checks out according to Jim March's list big time. I probably paid top dollar for it, but I figured that it might be a while before I come across another airweight K in this kind of condition...

I've got a tyler-t on the way from the company, and plenty of Remington 158gr LSWCHP, so I should be good to go pretty quick!

Those classic 36s and 37s are so pretty, when they look that good they deserve a name. Maybe the same one Scalia uses for his Glock - "Sweetness." (Or maybe that's Colbert's name for his revolver - ;)).

Ummm, that's a 12 not a 36 or 37....

This is my 12-2. I hope you enjoy yours as much as I enjoy mine.

I picked this one up recently. My wife carried a nickle Model 10 just like it as a duty weapon 30 years ago.



She took one look at the airweight and now I have an old model 10 and she has a new model 12....:(

Sidheshooter, the model 12 is one of my carry guns. It shoots better then you would think. Congatulations on a fine gun.

For practice she gets 148gr wadcutters for carry 158gr Buffalo Bore standard pressure LSWHP's.

Nice pick up. Just got my granddads 12-2 and have a t grip on the way for it as well. Shoots very well considering the short barrel.
Enjoy!

Those are all sweet, every last one!

Iggy, your wife has good taste; that plated 12 is particularly nice. ;)

I saw your original thread, xring; congrats on finding one in the family.

Indian dave, I'm right there with you. BTW, check out my pressure vs. recoil thread going right now...
