| Alright i need help choosing between a J frame and an L frame, Smith and Wesson .22 cal Revolver what do you guys think i am ordering it this coming up friday help me!!!! |
|
You mean J and K frames, right? I've been wrong before, but i don't think there are .22 L frames.
My J frames are a 34 and 43, both with 4' barrels, I recently got a 1949 Combat Masterpiece ( frame was numbered in '49, though literature says '50 or '51 start of production. One's heavy, one's light, one's really light. |

L frames are heavy frames for regular use of .357 Mag and similar heavy loads. They have the same grip frame as the K frames, but a sturdier upper frame, with a bigger cylinder , the K and L frame .38/.357s require different speedloaders.
The other name for the 617 is the K-22, hint, hint. N frame is the big magnum, and the X frame is the one with sling swivels. |

Don't discount the Model 63 & it's blued equivalent. I see these locally for around $400~. They're J-frames, so they'll fit a smaller handed shooter (ladies?) real well.
I put a set of these on my 63 & it allows my large hands to fit perfectly. They look good too.

DO WANT!!!!!
