[QUOTE="aarondhgraham, post: 1261024, member: 13337"] The Model 17 is the companion gun to the Model 14,,, The official S&W name (according to the Standard Catalog of S&W),,, Is Model 14 Masterpiece and Model 18 Masterpiece. You will often hear them referred to as Target Masterpiece,,, In most cases they came in 6" barrel length. The Model 18 is the companion gun to the Model 15,,, The official S&W name in Combat Masterpiece,,, Typically they came in a 4" barrel length. K-22 or K-38 simply refers to a type of gun,,, Not a particular model of gun. K-Frame in .38 Special,,, K-Frame in .22 LR. Before the Model number system that was introduced in 1951(?),,, The 6" was referred to as a K-38 Masterpiece,,, Or a K-22 Masterpiece. The 4" version was referred to as a K-38 Combat Masterpiece,,, Or a K-22 Combat Masterpiece. Again according to the Standard Catalogue of S&W,,, There were variations on the barrel lengths. For instance I have a friend who owns a 2" Model 15 Combat Masterpiece,,, There are almost always variations to any barrel length rule. But in general a Model 15 will be 4" and a Model 17 will be 6" barrel. . [/QUOTE]
