I have a chance to pick up a 1955 vintage K22 from a friend. For it's age it is in pretty good shape with just a bit of bluing wear near the muzzle. The question is, would it be worth $350.00? I shot it tonight in the basement @ about 10yds, and almost had a one hole group. It shoots good. Any one have any experience with the k22?

I picked one up in a trade this past spring after wanting one for many years. It is without a doubt the BEST 22 handgun I have now or have ever had. If I had a chance for one at that price I would not be asking about it, I would be posting pictures. They normally sell for a lot more than that.

I have 2 now and have had a total of 4 (all 17's)-- most I have paid was $400 with wood hogues in perfect shape least was $210--so $350 sounds about right
Great guns I love mine
If it jams force it! If it breaks it needed replacing anyway.

Wonderful gun! I would grab it quick.
The only accuracy limit for it will be the ammo used, sadly some is not as good as it used to be.

I have pics over on the Bragging Broard. I'm still in the last century, and can't figure out how to get them on here.

Well I took the K 22 to the range yesterday, and i shoots very good. It was 18 degrees and windy, so I wasn't at my best. I think it will do a bit better. What I like about this .22 is that it is very close in size to my model 28, so practice could be a bit cheaper:)
