The only change in frame size during
I frame production was extending the grip frame length when it got a coil mainspring and became the improved
I frame in 1953. The improved
I frame uses the longer
J frame stocks that were standard for about four decades. Verifying that a 5 shot S&W hand ejector has a flat mainspring should get a Terrier that is as small as
I frames ever were.
