Introduced in 1878, Smith & Wesson New Model No.3 was Smith & Wessons perfected single action top break revolver, generally smaller and lighter than previous models. It returned to the original Smith & Wesson barrel latch system, a change stemming mainly from the company's desire to stop paying royalties to George W Schofield. It was, after the Colt Single Action Army, the most popular revolver of the later frontier era, in fact more New Model No.3s were made than Single Action Armies during the 19th century, though the majority went to foreign military contracts.
