SMITH & WESSON .32 Caliber S&W “HAND EJECTOR” 1st Model Revolver C&R
Smith & Wesson’s First “Swing Out” Cylinder Revolver
Here we present a C&R Smith & Wesson .32 S&W Hand Ejector 1st Model Revolver, also referred to as the Hand Ejector Model of 1896, manufactured sometime between 1896 and 1903 in Springfield, Massachusetts with a total production run of approximately 19,712 revolvers.
This model was the first time S&W made a revolver with a swing-out cylinder. Interestingly, there is no cylinder latch, but the action opens by pulling forward on the exposed portion of the cylinder pin. This frees the spring tension and allows the cylinder to swing free. Another novel feature of this model is the cylinder stop location, which is located atop of the frame over the cylinder. Chambered for .32 S&W Long cartridge, has a 6-shot fluted cylinder and offered with 3.25", 4.25" and 6" long barrels. Available with a round or square butt, it also came with checkered hard rubber grips and was either blued or nickel-plated. Factory installed target sights were available by special order. The company name, address and patent dates are stamped on the cylinder instead of barrel.
The overall condition is good+. The action is strong and tight. The bore is shiny bright with sharp rifling. All the markings are clear and the numbers match. The grips show wear and use. Here is a nice example of a revolver that would have been carried in the years just prior to or just after the turn of the century!
