SMITH & WESSON 3rd Model .32 S&W SAFETY HAMMERLESS Six-Shot Revolver C&R
S&W’s “NEW DEPARTURE” Self Defense Revolver
Here we present a C&R 3rd Model Smith & Wesson .32 Caliber Safety Hammerless Revolver, made between 1909 and 1937 in Springfield, Massachusetts with a serial number range of 170000 through 242981. The Smith & Wesson Safety Hammerless models were produced from 1887 (1888 for the 32) to just before World War II. They were chambered in either .32 S&W with a six shot cylinder or .38 S&W with a five-shot cylinder. They were most often produced with a 2-inch, 3-inch, or 3.5-inch barrel. But some 6" barreled versions are known to exist. This revolver was made to be a simple, compact and reliable firearm that one could carry in a pocket or a holster around the turn of the 20th Century. This revolver features an internal hammer design to remove risk of snagging or stopping the action. There is a grip safety built into the back of the grip frame. The frame is a top-break design that activates the automatic ejector. These are very nice features from the turn of the 20th Century! They were known as "The New Departure" to reflect the company's new approach to designing revolvers.
These were petite and handy little guns that chambered 6 cartridges, perfect for the pocket and enough to get out of most scrapes. With gangsters, and career criminals running rampant, this example would have been the “pocket advantage” a person needed.
The overall condition is near fine. Original blue finish and case colors. The action is excellent. The bore is bright with nice rifling. The S&W trademarked hard rubber grips are in good condition. A neat little revolver for the pocket from the period of the Roaring Twenties and Great Depression.
