S&W Model 53 .22 Jet

[Cossworthe]

Pretty please bring back the .22 Jet revolver with the inserts so that .22 rimfire rounds can be fired too. This is a superb little K-Frame revolver with ejection rod housing that would sell very nicely. Offer it with 5", 6", and 7" barrels, I'll buy one of each!

You are not alone. Beautifully made revolvers.

I often see them on the auction sites and drool.

i remember the model 53, that was a classic.
although the old ones are highly desired by collectors i wonder if there really would be a market for them now if they were re-introduced.

The Jet was an intriguing idea that didn't work very well....typically major extraction problems, and the .22 inserts were inconvenient to say the least. I'd love to have a HV .22 centerfire revolver if the hard extraction could be overcome, and with a separate .22lr cylinder. Remember that Ruger single-action single shot in .256 that came out about the same time as the Jet? I'd love to see Smith do something like that....would make a great varmint handgun.
