This used to belong to my late uncle's and I just bought it from my aunt. It's been sitting in the safe for about 17 years. I've wanted one for a long time and now she's mine.

Re: Revolver Picture Thread!
A pair of 4" 44 Magnums for the thread:
My M629 no dash, pinned and recessed that I got to replace my 4" M629-1 I had sold off a couple of years ago. Here its paired along with my Ruger Redhawk. Both are wearing Hogue goncalo wood grips. I much prefer the Smith even though the big Rugers are more practical than the Smiths for shooting comfort. More durable as well but really bulky compared to the Smiths.

THE “K’ MASTERPIECE SERIES
The first K target model (K-22) was introduced on 12/13/1946 and sported a ribbed barrel, the new micrometer click sight, anti backlash trigger, short cocking action, six groove tangs, serrated trigger and a 1/8” or 1/10” Patridge front sight. In its advertising, Smith & Wesson emphasized the name “Masterpiece.” They believed they had introduced a true masterpiece for the competitive target shooter. On 6/09/1947 the K-32 and K14 became available. The weight of the three different caliber guns varied with the K-22 at 38 1/2oz, K-32 at 36 3/4oz and K-38 at 36oz. As a result of the requests from the target shooting community, by 04/10/1950 the weights were standardized at 38 1/2oz. (loaded). Beginning in 1957 the K-22 was assigned the designation of Model 17, the K-32 became the Model 16 and the K-38 became the Model 14. Sale of the Model 17 and 14 have always remained strong but the Model 16 was never as popular. Only 3630 K-32s were manufactured between 1947 and 1973 when it was dropped from production.
The K frame revolvers pictured above are (closest to furthest): K-38 shipped from factory in 1965, K-32 shipped 1955 and K-22 shipped 1956.
