Model 18-4
We enjoyed North Georgia so much this summer we brought my Mother and Mother in Law back. Went back into the same hardware store I bought my K-38 Masterpiece from this summer. The 18-4 they had then was still there. He came off the price enough that it is on the way to Mississippi. No box or papers but I buy them to shoot. Other than a turn line I couldn’t find anything wrong with it . Turn line doesn’t bother me because if it didn’t have one when I got it it would have one shortly. My wife is going to get a cc so this should be excellent for her to learn with. Thanks for looking!

Looks like a great place to shop. That’s more S&W revolvers in one place than I’ve seen in a while

The Model 18 is one of my absolute favorite revolvers. Its the perfect gun for learning to master the DA trigger pull.

Well my Model 18 finally made it to Mississippi this morning. Brought it home and took it apart and gave it a good cleaning. Everything looked good on the inside. A little dried oil but that was about it. I put one load through it. Ventilated some 16 ounce soda bottles. Double action trigger was smooth but heavy. Am I correct in assuming this is the norm for S&W rim fire revolvers? My only other rimfire revolver is an H&R. It’s double action pull is monumental. Think I will enjoy my new baby immensely!

The Model 18 is one of the best .22 revolvers ever made, in my opinion.
I'm sure you'll enjoy it for many years to come.

Excellent model 18-4 I have its older sibling the only difference is mine has the target trigger,hammer, and a pin in the barrel. However I prefer the standard trigger to the targe on my 18-4.. I think you will enjoy it, they are excellent 22’s.

Sweet Model 18 and Congrats!!
In the stash here are 6.
2 of them being pre-18 versions and one of those is un-fired in Gold Box........
The remaining 4 are all 18-4 w/ TT and TH, which I actually prefer. All 6 are pinned.
But, the one posted is the First I have ever seen without a pinned barrel.
I guess a few were made without pins right before the 18-4 ceased to exist?? (I had a model 48 like that.....built early 80s - no pin)
Y'all behave and be safe. B in NC
