Smith & Wesson Victory Model - a modified and parkerized version of the .38 Special revolver, the Smith & Wesson Model 10 - the "Victory Model" is chambered in .38 S&W

The Smith & Wesson Victory Model was born from yet another request by the U.S. Military (during war time) to supplement their issued sidearms with quickly tooled up civilian handguns. During World War 2, the U.S. Military sent many lend-lease Smith & Wesson Model 10 revolver (parkerized and chambered for .38 S&W) to both British and British Commonwealth forces (e.g. Australia, Canada, New Zealand), renamed the "Victory Model". When their own supplies of M1911 Govt. .45 automatics were stretched, the U.S. Army adopted the Smith & Wesson Victory Model for their own troops. The revolver was given plain wooden grips, was parkerized 'gray', and was chambered for the .38 Special. It never replaced the M1911 as the primary side arm of front line units, but it saw plenty of service as the handgun of secondary or support units.
