That Model 35-1 is the ultimate development of what began early last century as the "Bekeart Model" named for one of its chief supporters, Phil Bekeart. It was S&Ws first real effort at making a target grade 22 for wide consumption. It, along with the 4" Kit Gun, have always had a somewhat small but very enthusiastic following, and prices today are reflective of that popularity. For some ham handed folks like myself they are a bit challenging to shoot as well as the heavier K22/Model 17, but they do have a kind of class all their own.
