If anyone's interested, there's a really nice 6" K 22 at Tabors in San Bruno - with diamond service grips - for about $650.00

K22s are beautiful.

I have a Model 14-3 (a brother) - it's wonderful.

The one at Tabors is has the (unfortunately named) "fishhook" hammer -- the most elegant looking of the various S&W hammer designs over the years.

No -- that's a regular post-war .500 target hammer. Here's the 'fishhook' on a K32 courtesy of K&S:

Ah, so the fishhook has that little notch on the radiused part?

[kurac]

Exactly -- kind of resembes a Bisley-style hammer.
