Smith & Wesson Model 48 Classic 22 WMR 4" 6rd Revolver

The Model 48 Classic brings back Smith & Wesson's K frame 22 Magnum revolver in the traditional style. It is built of carbon steel with a bright blued finish on the frame, barrel and cylinder, and wears wood grips. The 4" barrel and six shot cylinder are chambered in 22 WMR, a rimfire round with real reach on small game and pests.

Sights are a pinned Patridge front and a micro adjustable rear, the classic target setup that lets you zero to your load and shoot tight groups. The action is single and double action with an exposed hammer, so you can thumb it back for a light single action break on a careful shot. The medium K frame gives a full size grip and enough weight to keep the gun steady, while 22 WMR recoil stays mild enough for long days at the range. It is a good revolver for a farm or trail, a training gun that teaches a smooth double action stroke, and a handsome addition for anyone collecting Smith & Wesson Classics.
