Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Smith & Wesson Model 48 in .22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire with an 8¼-inch barrel and blued finish is a standout K-frame target and small-game revolver that blends classic S&W craftsmanship with the added punch and flat trajectory of the .22 WMR cartridge. Introduced in the late 1950s as the “.22 Masterpiece Magnum,” the Model 48 takes the proven lines of the Model 17 but adapts them for the hotter, more versatile magnum rimfire round, giving shooters a revolver capable of precise target work, varmint control, and field use where a bit more authority is desired. Its long 8¼-inch barrel maximizes velocity and sight radius, making it exceptionally steady for slow-fire accuracy and allowing the front sight to present a crisp, finely defined picture. The blued finish highlights the clean machining, recessed chambers, and finely tuned action characteristic of the era’s S&W production, while the adjustable rear sight and Patridge-style front sight provide the kind of precision sighting system enthusiasts expect from a Masterpiece-line revolver. The K-frame’s balance remains surprisingly agile despite the extended barrel, aided by S&W’s smooth double-action system and crisp, glass-like single-action trigger pull. Collectors value the Model 48 for its relatively limited production numbers and for representing one of the finest magnum rimfire revolvers ever produced, while shooters appreciate its ability to deliver tight groups with well-matched .22 WMR loads and its enduring feel of quality that reflects Smith & Wesson’s golden age of revolver craftsmanship.
