Default Model 12-4

I like and occasionally carry the Model 12. Have a couple -2 and a couple -3 but have never, not once, seen a -4. Does anyone have a Mode 12-4? This is the Model 12 on standard width K frame. Shorter production run. Let's see them. Post your 12-4.

This is a 12-2. No -4 for photo

I’m the same way. I have, and only seem to see, up through -3s. I’ve probably seen -4s at times but didn’t know it.

I have owned all dash numbers of Model 12s at one time or another since my first in ca. 1972, but to my knowledge have never seen nor handled a 12-4. I would like to own one though!

I've never seen one in-the-wild, either.

Okay, this is not what I expected. The Catalog suggests that 12-4's run is only 2-3 years. Still, figured that we would see a bunch of them among this group. Hope to find one.

I saw one at a gun show a few years back( 7 8 years). I have never seen a 12-4 before or after that. It looked just a little different due to the full width frame.

I would like one as it shares the same grips as the Model 10.
