... this gun's heft could do double duty as a sledgehammer. It was sold in the late 1860s and early 1870s.
Some of the distributors gave these guns curious names, with this gun nicknamed the "Bulldozer."

The upside is that it absorbs most of the recoil from this diminutive cartridge.
Now, to find a fresh recoil spring for it ...

A few 1sts for the 1st.
My research focuses on the Smith & Wesson Model 1. Here are six examples from 1857 to 1860. All in the old .22 black powder rimfire round.

(4/4) The gun was discontinued in 1921, and Smith & Wesson's correspondence back then recommended that people stick to .22 Short cartridges in these because of the gun's fragility. #smithwesson #smithandwesson #smithandwessonpartner #22long #rimfire #ladysmith #oldgun #oldguns #revolvers #pewpew
Everything is right about this @Smith_WessonInc .44 Hand Ejector from 1940. The target sights, the custom Kearsarge grips, and that snub-ish barrel.
What are you shooting this weekend?

Well, happy 168th birthday, Smith & Wesson! It's been a privilege to know you, and I look forward to many more.

In 1876, Smith & Wesson released the .32 Single Action, which was meant to take the place of the aging Model 1 revolver.

In 1857, @smithandwessoninc made four revolvers. This is the only known survivor from that year.

This square-butted Smith & Wesson .38 Military & Police was one of two identical revolvers that shipped on March 28, 1947 to Forbes Hardware in Hopkinsville, Kentucky.

The Smith & Wesson Model 2 "Old Army" was curiously named, as it was never officially adopted by the military. This one dates to 1862 and saw hard use.

Brothers from the same mother. This matching pair of Smith & Wesson .38 Military & Police revolvers shipped in 1901 and 1903.

This Smith & Wesson Model 10-2 has the makings of a really nice revolver. It shipped in 1961 to S&S Wholesale Sporting Goods, which was located in Baton Rouge.

Old school police gatt for #wheelgunwednesday. Here's a Smith & Wesson Regulation Police revolver in .32 S&W. it dates to 1919 and was shipped from the factory to a dealer in MO. #smithwesson #smithandwesson #smithandwessoninc #policeguns #policegun #revolver #oldrevolver #oldguns #oldgun #32SW
Interpreting gun engraving is a complex art unto itself. This engraved Smith & Wesson Model 1 from 1876 was likely worked in the shop of Louis Daniel Nimschke.

This little French Velo Dog revolver presented itself in a southern Utah pawn shop, complete with its holster!
I included a photo of the maker's mark. Any guesses who made it?

Hypothetical situation: instead of adopting the M1911, the US military had adopted the .45 version of this Savage Model 1907 pistol. How would things have played out?

This Spanish-made Astra 400 has been an absolute pleasure to shoot, and it's remarkably accurate. I shouldn't be surprised, since the 400 feels a lot like a 1911 in my hands.
Finding 9mm Largo ammunition is another story.

For the belt-and-suspenders kind of man is this S&W .38 Double Action "Perfected." These were made from about 1909 to 1920 and chambered in .38 S&W.

This pistol was made by Stephen Odell of Natchez, Mississippi. He was born in New York and setup shop in Mississippi in the early 1840s.

Makarov problem solved. I put the word out and a friend of a friend let me know that he'd do a deal with me on this 1964 vintage East German "Pistolet Makarova"—complete with a period holster and extra magazine.

Like all major manufacturers, S&W would occasionally make a gun that functioned fine and had a cosmetic blemish. In the 1860s these were stamped "2D QUAL'TY" on the barrel and sold at a discount.
