I have a Taurus K frame size 22 Mag pistol with a 3" brl 8 shot. It is SS and I really like it although the 22 Mag ammo is pricy to shoot it very much. I found using CCI ammo, and firing it 20' from a paper target, the 3" brl was not long enough to burn all the powder. I was getting unburned powder residue perforating my target. My son-in-law found some Speer 22 Mag ammo in the Short Barrell configuration and it fixed the problem of not burning all the powder in the short 3" brl. 

Yours looks to be a 4' or 5" brl. Just maybe your brl is long enough to burn all the powder. Just thought I would let you know  what a shorter brl has a tendency to do. If you are not burning all the powder one does not get the maximum performance out of the ammo load.

Try some of the auction sites. Gunbroker or e-bay have quite a few listed. But you need to know the model name or number. You may have to be patient and wait, but these things do pop up from time to time. 

BTW: I like it!

Is there a "thumb rest" on the left grip panel?

CX?

I did a little research, it appears that you have a  55A Target Model.  However, the grips on yours seem to be correct. Are they broken? They look good from this side.

I wonder how many "Target Models" they made and if the grips were the same?

This look correct?
