Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Otis Smith 1873 Patent .32 Rimfire Revolver is a compact, single-action pocket revolver representative of late 19th-century American personal arms. Chambered in .32 rimfire, it was intended for close-range self-defense at a time when small, easily carried revolvers were in high demand. The short 2?-inch barrel and simple round blade front sight with a V-cut rear reflect its utilitarian purpose, prioritizing concealability and quick handling over precision. Finished in blue with smooth wood grips, this revolver exemplifies the modest construction and straightforward mechanics typical of the era, making it today an interesting historical artifact that illustrates the evolution of early American pocket revolver design.
Return Policy:
We gladly offer a 3 day unfired inspection policy from the time that the firearm is delivered to your FFL. Refunds are available for all qualifying orders.
