OK, I'll play.
Here is my S&W Model 17-3 that I bought brand-spanky new in 1975. Still have the box and all the goodies.
A K-22 Masterpiece, the fore runner of the Model 17. This one shipped in 1950.
A K-22 Outdoorsman that shipped in 1935. Note the teeny screw for windage adjustment, as opposed to the large screw on the Masterpiece. Also, the lack of a barrel rib. Note the original Service Grips.
This one is my favorite. A K-22 Outdoorsman that shipped to the Providence Rhode Island police department in 1932. Probably used by their pistol team, according to Roy Jinks. Many years of shooters resting their trigger finger on the frame resulted in the loss of blue above the trigger. Replacement Magna grips. I don't care, this one is the most accurate of all my 22s.
A Model 17 with an 8 3/8" barrel. This one shipped in 1963. I don't really care for the extra long barrel, it makes it very muzzle heavy.
Here is something you don't see every day. A pair of 22/32 Heavy Frame Target revolvers. S&W built these were built on the smaller I frame, before they began making the K-22s in the early 1930s.
The one at the top features Bekaert Grips, named after S&W distributor Phill Beakaert, who thought it would be a good idea to build 22 target revolvers on the I frame. The I frame was smaller than the K frame, it was the fore runner of the current J frames.. These revolvers were built on the smaller I frame. They were called Heavy Frame because up to that time the only 22 caliber revolvers with swing out cylinders S&W was making were the tiny M frame Ladysmiths. The one with the Beakaert grips shipped in 1940. The other one shipped in 1923.
Let's not forget Colt. The big Officer's Model Target at the top of this photo shipped in 1935. The little Colt Police Positive Target at the bottom of the photo shipped in 1936. Notice both revolvers have rear sights adjustable for windage by drifting them left or right in their dovetails. The front sights were adjustable for elevation using a screw at the front of the front sight.
