Picked up a new pair of guns

[David LaPell]

I picked these up yesterday.

I found this Outdoorsman for a really good price. it's definitely a shooter. While the outside looks a bit rough the bore is mint and the action locks up like a bank vault. The grips have to go for sure, someone cut up an old set, new ones are needed for sure.

The second is a nice little K22 that dates to 1948. This should be a nice little shooter.

Love that K-22 It has a great look--bet it shoots good--If I was in the market for a smith --It would be that one to shoot :)

I'm in total agreement with americal (well I might add a Model 41 to the "in the market" thing).
The Outdoorsman certainly has a look to it especially with the homemade boot grips and a 6 1/2" tube. There's them that say the .38-44 was/is superior to the .357

Nice. Grips on the H/D don't appear to have been original anyway, so maybe you can find a set of correct vintage magnas to put on it. Love the K-22! An early K-22 is on my short list of guns to acquire.
