Built on the K-frame and marked MOD. 16-4 on the yoke, this six-shot, fluted-cylinder revolver is chambered for .32 H&R Magnum. It features a double-action/single-action mechanism and is part of Smith & Wesson’s classic Masterpiece target lineage, noted for refined handling and precision-oriented configuration.
The 8.4 in carbon-steel barrel has a heavy profile with a full underlug, a pinned front blade on a ramp base, and a serrated rib. Anti-glare serrations extend across the topstrap and rib to reduce glare and sharpen the sight picture. An adjustable S&W rear sight pairs with the pinned front blade for precise elevation and windage control.
The trigger and hammer are target-style, with a wide, comfortable face on the trigger and an exposed, wide hammer spur for confident manipulation. Trigger work has been performed to lighten the pull weight. Finger-groove wooden stocks with S&W medallions round out the handling, offering a secure, consistent grip.
Finished in polished blue over carbon-steel construction (frame, cylinder, and receiver), the revolver presents the classic S&W aesthetic. Barrel rollmarks read "SMITH & WESSON" and "32 MAGNUM." A matching serialized factory box accompanies the revolver, underscoring its collectible status and tying it to its original configuration. Made in the USA.
