Smith and Wesson Second Model .32 Hand Ejector - Model 1903

Description:
Second Model .32 Hand Ejector - Model 1903 - First Change.
Smith & Wesson was in a time of nearly continuous innovation and made incremental changes to improve the Second Model .32 Hand Ejector for nearly two decades. The First Change saw the switch to a standard front sight that was forged as part of the barrel. The sight continues to be half-round like the earlier pinned sight. The front target sight remains a square blade pinned into the front sight boss, and rear sights are the same as on the previous version. The cylinder stop is altered to not only move up and down but also to reciprocate back and forth very slightly. This required that the notches in the cylinder that engage with the stop be cut slightly longer. The trigger was given a chafing pin like the hammer. Neal & Jinks state that at “about serial number 48,000 the hammer nose rivet was changed from solid to hollow....” For the first time, extended square-butt checkered walnut target grips were available, in addition to those in hard rubber.

The .32 caliber Second Model .32 Hand Ejector First Change was made in 1904 to 1905, with serial numbers from 19,426 to 51,126.
