The Smith & Wesson Model 14-3, often referred to as the K-38 Target Masterpiece, is a 6-shot, medium-frame (K-frame) revolver designed primarily for bullseye target competition. The designation \"CTG\" is an abbreviation for \"cartridge,\" indicating it is chambered for the .38 Special.
The 14-3 variant specifically refers to the third engineering revision, produced approximately between 1967 and 1977.
