The Model 63-4 is part of the Kit Gun series and is built on the compact J-frame. This example is chambered in .22 LR with an 8-shot cylinder and a 5-inch stainless barrel, offering a balance of sight radius and packable size. The barrel carries a full-length serrated top rib, with a pinned serrated ramp front sight and a micrometer-adjustable square-notch rear.
Construction is all stainless steel with a matte/brushed finish on the frame, barrel, and cylinder. It uses a round-butt grip frame fitted with black rubber finger-groove stocks for a secure hold. The ejector rod is unshrouded, consistent with the model’s configuration.
The action is double-action/single-action with a smooth-faced trigger and an exposed hammer featuring a checkered spur. An internal key lock is incorporated into the frame as a safety feature for this era.
Factory markings include the S&W logo on the frame, the Model 63-4 marking on the yoke cut, and barrel rollmarks for SMITH & WESSON and .22 L.R. CTG. The frame is marked MADE IN U.S.A. MARCAS REGISTRADAS SMITH & WESSON SPRINGFIELD, MASS. The factory case label’s product code matches the firearm (162450), aligning with early 2000s production.
