Found Holy Grail of Rare S&W Revolvers - Page 2

Now to find (if you don't already have one) the rare S & W rimfire revolver that was only issued to postal workers years ago. It was a K frame 4" tapered barrel, square butt with fixed sights and looked just like the model 10, but in .22lr. I tried to search for the model number, but nothing came up.

Sounds like the Model 45 / 22 Military & Police.

Yes, the Model 45, but it isn't nearly as rare. I've seen two on Gunbroker in the last 6 months and for darn sure, I was not even searching for one.

Awesome!

Here is the model 45 .22 mail carrier revolver. I really like this a lot. Very expensive! Just a good duty revolver in the model 10 .38 special, but a trainer/plinker in .22 would be cool to have and show off.

I think that is a pretty sweet find. Enjoy it.

Tell me what caliber you need and I'll see what I have to swap. PM me and we'll discuss.
