Finally, the pièce de résistance - a Smith & Wesson 22/32 "Bekeart-type" (not an "true Bekeart") Hand Ejector. I traded a Brother out of this - he'd recently acquired it, and I absolutely flipped over it! This is just the CUTEST little sixgun ever, the details, the condition for its age, and the delicacy of it are just amazing. Made sometime in the '20s (I'll have to look up the S/N), it shoots wonderfully with standard-velocity ammo. This is a prized sixgun for sure, it will never go anywhere, except back where it came from when I crater.

A good day at the Hardware Store, and Happy Burfday to ME!

got one of these little I frame 22s, same configuration at little gun show in january. lots of finish wear on mine, was carried more than 29 years by a local trapper on his lines. mechanics and bore perfect, great trigger, and, as you say, it is amazingly accurate with standard velocity 22s!

great minds running in same groove!

but i wont insult the Quinns again by saying i am long lost kin!

Happy Birthday !! You've got some great treats so far......

Prob'ly a real minority market segment, and would never be as elegant as that vintage gracefulness, BUT...I wished that Smif' would do that same model in SS [no lock]: .22mag and .22lr. And, shades of Skeeter, a .32mag.

Jus' wishin', there. Not like anyone would NEED one!!! ;~`)

never mind that I just called you a nasty name under my breath.

My God that Ruger is loaded. Very dangerous

And I predict a scarcity of cottontails over west of here in the coming months.

That thang is COOL!
