The Model 34-1 is a small-frame S&W Kit Gun designed around the J-frame and chambered in .22 LR with a six-round capacity. This example carries the correct "MOD 34-1" marking inside the yoke cut and was made in the United States. It uses an all-steel construction with a polished blue finish and a round-butt grip frame.
The 4-inch tapered steel barrel balances compact size with sight radius. Sighting is handled by a serrated ramped front sight and an adjustable S&W micrometer rear sight, providing a clear, tunable sight picture. The action is double-action/single-action with a spurred hammer and a narrow, smooth trigger, both color case-hardened as typically seen on factory examples.
The revolver uses a six-shot, fluted cylinder. It is a swing-out design with a knurled ejector-rod tip and no underlug or shroud, consistent with the Kit Gun configuration. The blued steel cylinder matches the receiver and frame finish.
Checkered walnut Magna stocks with S&W medallions provide a secure hold and complement the revolver’s blued finish. Additional identifying details include the J-frame configuration and an M-prefix butt serial present.
