Description:
Available now is a finely tuned Smith & Wesson Model 14-3 .38 Special revolver, serial number 3K30554, crafted in 1972–1973 and upgraded for elite target shooting. This K-frame classic, born as the K-38 Target Masterpiece, has been enhanced with premium custom features, making it a standout for competitors and collectors alike.
Specifications:
  • Caliber: .38 Special – Optimized for match-grade accuracy
  • Barrel: 6-inch pinned barrel with Bomar target rib installed for superior stability and sight picture
  • Sights: Precision target sight paired with the Bomar rib, adjustable for windage and elevation
  • Finish: 97% original high-polish blue, showing minimal wear from light use
  • Grips: High-quality Micarta grips, offering durability and a secure, ergonomic hold
  • Trigger: Competition-grade, professionally tuned for a smooth, crisp pull—ideal for bullseye precision
  • Capacity: 6 rounds, swing-out cylinder
  • Stock Number: 804D (inventory marking)
Condition: This revolver has seen little use since its custom build, preserving its near-pristine state. The bore is bright and sharp, the action is silky, and the 97% original blue finish reflects careful handling—only faint signs of its limited range time remain. The Bomar rib, target sight, and competition trigger elevate it beyond factory specs, while the Micarta grips add a modern touch to its classic lines.
Why This Revolver?
Tailored for NRA centerfire competition, this Model 14-3 blends S&W’s legendary K-frame reliability with custom upgrades for the serious shooter. The Bomar rib enhances balance and sight alignment, the competition trigger delivers match-ready performance, and the Micarta grips ensure control shot after shot. Dating to the early 1970s, it’s a rare fusion of vintage craftsmanship and purposeful modification—perfect for the range or a curated collection.
