What’s Included

The Model 34-1 is a compact .22 LR revolver configured with a 4-inch carbon-steel barrel, a six-shot fluted cylinder, and DA/SA operation. Its micro size keeps it trim in hand while the 4-inch tube provides a useful sight radius and velocity for rimfire work.
Construction details include carbon-steel frame, barrel, and cylinder with a high-polish blued finish, an unshrouded ejector rod with a knurled tip, and a full-length serrated rib extending over the barrel and topstrap. The revolver uses the standard Smith & Wesson checkered cylinder latch.
Sighting equipment consists of a serrated ramp front sight and an adjustable square-notch rear sight. The narrow, smooth trigger and spurred, checkered hammer support precise DA and SA use.
Non-factory oversized grips distinguish this example: two-piece checkered walnut, target-style panels with a thumb rest and palm swell that cover the butt and omit S&W medallions. They provide a substantial, hand-filling interface suited to steady rimfire shooting.
Factory markings include ".22 LONG RIFLE CTG." on the right side of the barrel and "SMITH & WESSON" on the left side. The right side of the frame is marked "MADE IN U.S.A. MARCAS REGISTRADAS SMITH & WESSON SPRINGFIELD, MASS." with "MOD. 34-1" stamped on the yoke cut; assembly/inspection numbers are present on the yoke arm.
