Characteristics

This is a classical police revolver used by police and military on most continents from the early 1900's until this day. Seen as the prototype,along with Colt revolvers,of most modern revolvers. It uses the K-frame size, like Smith & Wesson Model 15 and Smith Wesson Model 19. Earlier versions,including the forerunner Model of 1899 up until 1960, had thin barrels and a rounded front sight. Early versions were chambered in .38 Long Colt/.38 Special and occasionally .32-20 WCF. WW2 models were also chambered in .38 Smith & Wesson for the British Commonwealth. From 1960 until today it was fitted with a heavier barrel and ramped front sight. Barrel came in 2,3,4 and 6-inch versions.
