SMITH & WESSON .22/32 HAND EJECTOR Double Action RF Revolver C&R w/HOLSTER

Known as the “.22/32 HEAVY FRAME TARGET REVOLVER”

Here we present a C&R Smith & Wesson .22/32 Hand Ejector Double Action Revolver, made circa the 1920s-30s in Springfield, Massachusetts. This is a very interesting model from a collector's point of view. Phillip B. Bekeart, a San Francisco firearms dealer, requested that S&W manufacture a .22-caliber target-grade revolver on the heavier .32 frame. He believed in his idea so passionately, that he immediately ordered 1,000 guns for himself. This initial order is found within serial number range 1 to 3000 and are known to collectors as the authentic “Bekearts”. There were only 292 revolvers of his initial order delivered to Mr. Bekeart, but the first 1,000 pistols are considered to be true Bekearts.

The remainder of the extensive production run are simply .22-32 Hand Ejectors, as is this example. These were chambered for the .22 Long Rifle cartridge and sported a 6-shot fluted cylinder with 6" barrel. The finish was blue with square a butt and checkered extension-type walnut grips. The production number of each respective pistol is stamped into the base of the extended wooden grips. S&W went on to manufacture several hundred thousand of these revolvers between 1911 and 1953.

The overall condition is excellent. Original finish. Excellent action. Bright, sharply rifled bore. Fine checkered grips. Markings are sharp. Good holster. Visible number match.
