To take this thread sideways for just a moment, it is interesting to me that the .22./32 Target Revolver was still in the catalog in the early to mid 1950s. That looks like what we would call the transitional model, and the transitional kit gun is right beside it. I guess info about the Model of 1953 had not yet made it to the marketing deparment when this catalog was pasted up.

Sure wish I could find one of those postwar transitional .22/32 target guns at a reasonable price. Or find one at all, for that matter.
