"I don't personally know that model."
On the barrel of the S&W M22-4 it is identified as " 45 CAL. MODEL 1950" Recently produced by S&W as part of their historic series.
Think there have been a number of variants since WW1. Similar to the Indiana Jones custom S&W M1917 with (cut back) 4" barrel.
This most recent version of the venerable classic has an ejector rod shroud underlug, and a very wide half-moon front sight.
Might be able to make 45WM out of a cut down .308 casing?
Thank you for introducing me to a fascinating new handgun cartridge. I'm guessing the Wildey makes for a fine Alaska gun, that is assuming they are reliable. (bears don't wait on folks clearing a jammed auto-loader) I note there are more than a few up for sale, are they still manufactured?
All the best.
