One is worth more though. Would you want a 1953 (First year) Ruger Blackhawk Single Six 22 LR or a 1953 Smith and Wesson 22LR K-22 Maaterpiece Revolver ?
In good condition is the S&W worth 1k ?
 
I already have the three screw Ruger single six with the additional .22 mag cylinder. Not the 1953 year though. I got it new in about 1965ish
 
For my birthday in 1972 my wife bought me a Ruger Mark IV. I think she paid $59.00.

I wanted it because my buddy had one and I really liked the feel of it. I wish I’d asked her for the Blackhawk revolver.

I’ll bet Homer could share the virtues of both your Ruger and the Smith. I’m curious to know but……. DM which do you prefer?

Edit, further reading. I guess mine was the Standard Model, not the MK IV.

I like the S&W. Deciding if I want to sell one of My Rugers. I don't want to let go of the K-22.
