Recently had Andy Horvath build me one out of a S&W model 15 and a K22 cylinder and barrel.

That sure looks nice and I bet it will be one sweet shooting and handling handgun. Thanks for sharing it. Bill K

SB: Very nice there, buddy.
That'll give that Smith an entirely new life of its own. Out of over 20 handguns in the safe here, only one is scoped, but it sure is a lot of fun shooting out the truck window over a dog-gone-good window bag at ranch varmints.
Mine is a Smith M648 in .22 WMR and a Leupold 4X handgun scope, set up exactly like yours.....
Feel free to post some field pics and critters if/when you get her out into the field. We love pics!

Thanks for sharing the photos. They look great. Having a custom gun built by a skilled gunsmith like Andy Horvath can be a great way to get a high-quality firearm. It sounds like you had him build a hybrid gun using an S&W Model 15 frame and a K22 cylinder and barrel. This combination would likely result in a revolver that can fire both .38 special and .22 LR ammunition. Yet, keep in mind that depending on state laws, the legality of owning such a hybrid firearm may vary. You should consult with the local authorities before owning one. Getting up to date with the laws was the first thing I've done after buying my new weapon from

Cameron: A bit confused here. Explain to us how this revolver could fire both .38Spl and .22LR ammunition. It has a .22LR barrel, and not one of .357" bore. Seems to be quite the conflict here unless the owner changed out barrels and cylinder.
Am I missing something?
