.38 Revolver Can't Get Any Better?

That K-22 is very nice doc540. I have a shipped in 1952 S&W K-22 Masterpiece. I only have the Gold Box and have no idea, if its original to the revolver, no grease pencil, etc, but it came with it. I wish I had the tools and paper work like you do. Its a 98% pistol though and I went over it with a microscope. I can't find where the finish has ever been tampered with. Its super accurate too. I even shot it at 50 yards one out of my friends Ransom Rest. It groups tight, I wish I could hold it that tight.:)
 
I've just picked up a shiney 15-3. It has 2 of the T's and I have a set of target grips for it but I'm going to leave the Hogues on it for some shooting.

Bob, I'm not enough of an expert to make an accurate comment.

Iv'e sold both my M19 and M10's.

The target hammer and trigger are, to me, its most endearing feature.

And it is very well balanced.
 
I love K-frames and I own four of them myself. Big fan!

But I do not like the target trigger. I'm a double action shooter, I much prefer to shoot double action and the grooved, wide trigger simply doesn't help me there--it certainly seems to hinder me.

Of course, I've done some shooting in single action...but I'm not sure how the big trigger with the grooves really helps in that endeavor -- but I'm listening if anyone has an idea how it might.
 
The Smith target triggers (and hammers, for that matter) were intended mostly for use on da revolvers being fired single-action during Bullseye match competitions. This was a long time ago...:( For that purpose, target triggers/hammers worked very well and many, if not most, serious Bullseye competitors insisted on having them on their target revolvers. For da shooting, not so much.
