Item Description
Bryant Ridge Co. is pleased to present this head-turning double/single-action revolver today for a penny-start auction, this is the Smith & Wesson Davidson's Exclusive Heavy Duty/Model 20!
This newly imagined N-frame revolver introduced in 2023 is unique in that it embodies the features of the original Heavy Duty/ Model 20 while being chambered in the .357 Magnum. The team at Smith and Wesson has resurrected the 20th-century legacy of the N-frame revolver in the classic lived configuration of the Heavy Duty in tandem with the .357 Magnum for modern revolver owners. These new models are also Davidson's Exclusive.
According to the owner, this example was purchased in 2024 and remains in New-Not Fired condition, and upon inspection, we see no evidence to suggest otherwise.

Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Heavy-Duty Revolver was introduced on April 1, 1930, and was designed on the 44 Hand Ejector Third Model frame. The revolver was initially manufactured with a 5" barrel length and had a weight of 01 40 ounces, and was chambered in 38/44. As time and manufacturing progressed, Smith and Wesson produced the revolver in 4" and 6" lengths. The Heavy Duty was manufactured continuously throughout the 1930s on the N-frame. The total production of the pre-World War II 38/44 Heavy Duty was 11,11l revolvers, and production of the revolver ceased in order to focus on the war effort from 1940-1946. At the end of World War II, on June 18*, 1946, this model was reintroduced to the public. In 1948, the factory incorporated the new style of short action, and the gun remained unchanged from that date until it was discontinued in 1966. During its lifetime, the revolver was eventually designated the model 20 in 195%, when Snith and Wesson began assigning numeric model designations to their firearms. Even though the 38/44 chamber was designed to fire the 38 Special Super police loss, this revolver prompted the idea of producing the popular 357 Magnum, which was designed in 1934 and introduced as its own production model in 1935.
