Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Smith & Wesson Model 18-3 is a finely crafted .22 Long Rifle revolver, built on the square butt K target frame and designed for both target shooting and training applications. Featuring a 4-inch pinned barrel, this revolver maintains the classic design elements that made Smith & Wesson a leader in precision handguns. The blued finish enhances its aesthetic appeal while providing corrosion resistance, and the combat-style 1/8" Baughman Quick Draw front sight paired with a micrometer-click adjustable rear sight ensures accuracy and quick target acquisition. The revolver’s six-shot, fluted, and counterbored cylinder reinforces its vintage appeal and solidifies its reliability as a rimfire companion to larger-caliber K-frame models.

The Model 18-3 showcases traditional checkered walnut Magna grips with S&W medallions, offering both a comfortable hold and a visually striking contrast to the deep blue finish. Depending on the production period, the revolver features different hammer and trigger variations, with some models equipped with a flat-faced .500-inch wide target hammer and a .400-inch wide target trigger, while others have a .265-inch serrated trigger with a narrow checkered hammer. The K-prefix serial number and the evolution of grip textures—from six-groove to ten-groove serrations on the backstrap and fore strap—add to the collectibility of this revolver. Though production initially ran from 1949 to 1985, Smith & Wesson briefly revived the Model 18 in 2009 as part of the Classic Series, before discontinuing it again in 2011. With its superb balance, smooth double/single-action operation, and historical significance, the Model 18-3 remains a cherished piece among revolver enthusiasts and collectors alike.
