Talk:Smith & Wesson Model 3

Other variants

Smith & Wesson No.3 Russian Model Pattern I - .44 Russian. Smith & Wesson Pattern I revolver (in Russian Revolver Smita i Vessona, Obrazetz I) was Russian service name for US-manufactured revolvers while Russian-manufactured revolvers were indexed as Pattern II and Pattern III. Pattern I revolvers can be identified by the shape of the frame and the absence of the spur on the trigger guard. This is most likely a modern replica, since the original Model 3 had an 8-inch barrel.

Discussion

Gregory Peck carried what appeared to be (from rate of fire) a double action S&W Model 3 (which I guess would make it the Frontier model?) in the 1974 movie "Billy Two Hats". Harleyguy 21 June 2010 14:09
