.22 Smith Kit Gun (J-frame .22s, anyone?)
While in South America I did some traveling and work in some very remote areas (rain forest and Andes mountains) and had plenty of time to consider what handgun I would want with me for all of those treks.
When I returned stateside in 81, I made a Bee-line for Carter Country in Houston and bought a Smith and Wesson 4" Kit gun in stainless steel. That handgun fit the bill for what I wanted. I still have it and would not git rid of it for love nor money.
It is as accurate as the heavier K-22, but due to the lighter weight, you need to get a steady position for fine and far shooting.
I have carried it on many hikes in the Rocky Mountains, the Big Bend country of Texas and here in the brush country of Deep South Texas.
I like it. It is a shame Smith and Wesson took them out of production.
