that K-22 is SWEET! One of the pistols I have never shot or owned. Something is definately wrong with my priorities!!!

Where did you grow up? I grew up in central Wyoming and there were two movie theaters in our town, one for movies for "grown-ups" and one that had mostly Disney, the Saturday Westerns, monster movies, newsreels, and Rocketman. Didn't have TV until about 1962, but it wasn't very good anyway.44LVR wrote:More than interesting, pretty darned cool!Meeteetse wrote:It is interesting to me how many have selected SA revolvers as their favorite.

In my own defense, I grew up in a household where only leverguns and and single actions resided. An old '92 32-20 converted to .357 and a Ruger Flattop in the same caliber. And my own old 1939 25-35......![]()
My Mom had/has a first year production Ruger Bearcat too.
And I grew up in a house where there was NO TV and rarely ever got into town to see a movie at the theater......![]()

Thanks! Bought that K22 from a friend's father back in 1981 for a hefty price (back then!) of $150. I didn't want to pay that much, but was intrigued that it still had the box, papers and all the tools.rjohns94 wrote:Marlinman,

Morton Washington! Home of the Morton Loggers Jubilee! One movie theatre that I was able to get into town and see a movie maybe twice per year.Meeteetse wrote:Where did you grow up?

I didn't know anything but levers and single actions until I was able to start buying my own outdoor books, probably around 15 years old or so. I couldn't understand why someone would want to hunt with something as ugly as a bolt gun! Serious! 35 years later I own 1 bolt gun and the rest Levers. Levers and single actions are 99% of my hunting, 99.9% of my overall shootingI didn't know there was anything except lever guns and single actions until I was a teenager and saw the war movies. In any case I don't think I missed much. I still like levers and single actions. Still have a Winchester 94 that was my Dad's (1947 vintage) and a Ruger Single-six from the late 50's or early 60's.
May I ask where you got your holster for your 696? I have a 696 Night Guard and would like a holster like that for it.O.S.O.K. wrote:This S&W 696 3" 44 Special is probably my favorite...
