Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Smith & Wesson 24-3 Lew Horton Exclusive is a highly collectible N-frame revolver produced by Smith & Wesson as a special limited-run model for Lew Horton Distributing Company, with approximately 5,000 examples manufactured. Chambered in the classic .44 Special cartridge, the revolver played a significant role in reviving interest in the caliber during the 1980s and quickly earned a reputation as one of the finest big-bore defensive and sporting revolvers of its era. Built on Smith & Wesson’s large N-frame, the Model 24-3 typically features a desirable 3-inch barrel that provides an outstanding balance between portability and shootability. One of its most recognizable features is its smooth wooden grips with finger grooves and inlaid Smith & Wesson medallions, which give the revolver a refined appearance while providing a comfortable and secure hold. The revolver also features a polished blue finish that complements the classic styling and highlights the craftsmanship associated with premium Smith & Wesson revolvers of the period. Mechanically, the 24-3 utilizes Smith & Wesson’s renowned double-action/single-action lockwork, a six-shot cylinder, and a smooth trigger pull that has long been admired by revolver enthusiasts. The .44 Special chambering delivers substantial power while maintaining controllable recoil, making the revolver both practical and enjoyable to shoot. In practical use, the Lew Horton 24-3 earned praise for its exceptional balance, accuracy, and elegant handling characteristics. Shooters frequently appreciated the combination of the compact barrel length, smooth target-style grips, and powerful chambering, while collectors valued its limited-production status and unique place in Smith & Wesson history. Today, the Smith & Wesson 24-3 Lew Horton Exclusive remains one of the most desirable limited-production revolvers ever produced by the company, admired for its rarity, beautiful presentation, and status as a classic .44 Special N-frame.
