Model 18 find

[Dunkin]

Just picked up a model 18-3 .22 combat masterpiece in mint condition, serial # K905050. Anyone know about when it was made?

Thank you.

Early to mid 1970s most likely.

Model 18 is an awesome revolver. Any photos of it ?

Probably produced in 1969. It might have shipped in 1970.

I just won an auction on Gunbroker for K905014, a Model 18-3. 1969?

While we wait, this is mine, an 18-2, S/N K 6356XX. I've been told 1965.

As I have previously posted, we teach the NRA Basic Pistol class. We meet for five nights from 6:30 to 10:00. We don't shoot the first night, but the second and third night we shoot 22 revolvers and get through the introduction to shooting and the NRA circles with the revolvers and then transition to striker fired 9mm pistol. The students fire 50 rounds each night.

My 18-3 came from an estate with box and TT/TH from factory. I recently reamed the cylinder with the loaner program here. Fantastic revolvers.

IMO the M18 is the finest .22 revolver S&W has ever produced. Too damned bad they don't make 'em like that anymore!
