Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
Tracing its origin directly to Smith & Wesson's post-WWII target masterworks, the Model 14 (originally designated as the K-38 Target Masterpiece) stands as one of the most successful target revolvers in bullseye shooting history. Built on S&W's iconic medium K-frame platform, the K-38 was precision-engineered with match-grade tolerances, incredible balance, and a crisp, light single-action trigger break. The 14-2 engineering dash revision, introduced in 1961, implemented a key mechanical refinement by reversing the thread direction on the cylinder stop screw. Early 1960s Model 14-2 revolvers hold high collector esteem for retaining desirable classic features like the genuine pinned barrel assembly and traditional 4-screw frame geometry. This specific example bears serial number K485399, placing its manufacture in approximately 1962. Outfitted with a 6-inch tapered barrel, deep high-gloss factory carbon steel bluing, case-hardened target hammer and trigger, micrometer-adjustable rear sight, and a black Hogue Monogrip rubber stock, this revolver is set up for exceptional handling and comfort. The factory blued finish retains deep gloss with minor age-appropriate surface marks and light handling wear. Mechanically, the cylinder timing and lockup are remarkably precise, single-action trigger break is target-grade crisp, and the 6-inch bore displays bright, sharp rifling. This early 1960s Model 14-2 K-38 Target Masterpiece offers an outstanding entry-point for vintage Smith & Wesson collectors and target shooting purists alike.
