SMITH & WESSON .38 Military & Police Model of 1905 .38 SPECIAL Revolver C&R
Nice DOUBLE ACTION 4th Change Revolver w/WALNUT GRIP
Here we present a C&R Smith & Wesson .38 Military & Police Model of 1905 Fourth Change Double Action Revolver manufactured circa the 1920s in Springfield, Massachusetts, with a production run between 1915 to 1942 with a total production of 758,296. This revolver is the third of Smith & Wesson's .38 Hand Ejector models. Later models in this series include the .38 Military & Police Victory Model and the S&W Model 10. The Model 1905, as with the other .38 Hand Ejector models, is a six-shot revolver built on the Smith and Wesson K frame, with a swing-out cylinder chambered in .38 Special.
In 1899, the United States Army and Navy placed an order with Smith & Wesson for two to three thousand Model 1899 Hand Ejector revolvers chambered for the .38 Long Colt U.S. Service Cartridge. With this order, the Hand Ejector Model became known as the .38 Military and Police model. That same year, in response to reports from military sources serving in the Philippines on the relative ineffectiveness of the new cartridge, Smith & Wesson began making the Military & Police in a new chambering, the 38 S&W Special (a.k.a. .38 Special), a slightly elongated version of the .38 Long Colt cartridge with greater bullet weight and powder. This change was implemented after the first 1000 had been produced.
The overall condition is fine. Original finish. Excellent action. The bore has a frosted appearance but remains in good shape. Sharp markings. Numbers match. Both grips are in good shape with average handling wear.
