Model 48

[JOBA]

My Model 48 is pinned & recessed, has a 1970's s/n but has a internal firing pin. Was this because the 48 was a slow seller? Mine has a 8 3/8" barrel which would be even a slower seller.

No...all S&W .22 rimfires have always had internal firing pins and all even today have recessed cylinder chambers. They also had pinned barrels until about 1981 when all went to the crush fit non-pinned barrels...

Nice gun...had one like it for several years. If you look over on the Ammo board I just posted velocities from an 8 3/8" barrel...

Thank you, this is my 1st K frame & Rimfire S&W revolver. I just couldn't say know to my buddy that made me an offer that I just couldn't refuse.

I have one, it's a tack driver. That and my Model 17 8 3/8" make it to the range regularly...

This 48 has rode many miles in my Jeep. 3 chambers with CCI snake shot. The other 3 with HP's.
