The first practical .44 cartridge revolver, built
originally for cartridge use only, was the Smith & Wesson
American revolver. Introduced in 1870, it was an
immediate success on the American Frontier.
Enjoying the success of their new revolver, S&W made
some technical improvements, and introduced the 2nd
Model in 1872, producing nearly 21,000 revolvers by 1874.
They were used by notables such as Cole Younger and Wyatt Earp.
Dimensions:
- Over-all height, basae to top, 3-inch
- Height of front edge from base, 2-3/8 inch
- Width of base, 1-7/8 inch
- Height of screw hole center from base, 1-3/16 inch
- Width across top "corners", 1-1/8 inch
The top of the grip does not have steps like most pocket
S&W pistols, K or N frame styles. The front and back
edges change angle at the top. The top width is measured at
the point where the curve makes an abrupt change.
