Yes. The USAF called it the Model 13 but S&W did not. 2" barrels only.

What he said is correct. It is a nomenclature, not a model number.

I was confused about this for some time. The Air Force M13 is a military designation like M1 Garland Rifle or F16 Fighter Jet. It’s a K-frame 6-shot air weight .38 special, similar to the S&W Model 12.

Not to be confused with S&W Model 13, k-frame 6-shot steel .357 magnum.
