The Model 16-4 is a six-shot K-frame chambered in .32 H&R Magnum and is also compatible with .32 S&W and .32 S&W Long cartridges. Its six-shot fluted cylinder sits behind a full-length underlug and ejector-rod shroud, giving the revolver target-ready balance and clean lines.
Sight regulation is fully adjustable via a micrometer rear sight paired with a pinned Patridge-style front blade. The barrel carries a serrated rib, with factory rollmarks reading "SMITH & WESSON" on the left and "32 MAGNUM" on the right. The yoke is correctly stamped "MOD. 16-4."
Controls and handling reflect the target focus of this model, with a wide, target-style hammer and a wide, target-style trigger. The revolver wears smooth finger-groove wood stocks with S&W medallions, complementing its polished blued carbon-steel frame and cylinder.
Produced in limited numbers circa 1989–1993 and cataloged under product code 100560 (label codes SB-TH-TT-FL), the 16-4 is a notable entry in S&W's target revolver lineage. This revolver includes its factory two-piece blue box with a matching end label, confirming a box-to-gun serial match.
