S&W 22

[Gork10]

Can across this photos when going through some old files. This gun is not mine. Never seen it in person. Downloaded from the net. I thought it was cool looking. Just wanted to share them with you guys. Enjoy

Wow, that is cool! Someone took an N-frame (probably an M1917) and sleeved it for .22. Sounds like something Id do if I had oodles of money to burn.

That was my thought as well. An m1917. At one time they were dirt cheap. Whoever did the work did a great job. The only nonstandard marking besides the engraving is the name Melvin in the top of the T grip.

The only work thats a little shady is the firing pin bushing, otherwise its really well done.

Parker Hale did plenty of those conversions, using S&W M&Ps. I have one of those and it works well.

Truly cool gun. I'd shoot the daylights out of it.

A no holds barred surplus conversion. Done a long time ago to have King sights.
I wouldn't have shortened the barrel so much but otherwise it is a jewel.

Yeah, DW King’s San Francisco shop closed after he died in 1945. My 1930’s vintage Colt Officers Model Heavy Barrel was modified by DW King. It has a widened hammer spur rather than the distinctive “cockeyed” spur, and the front sight doesn’t have the mirrored insert, but the rest is all King.

That is a cool makeover!

Stay safe.
