Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Smith & Wesson Model 18, a distinguished .22 Long Rifle revolver, is renowned for its precision and classic design, encapsulating Smith & Wesson's commitment to excellence in firearm manufacturing. Introduced in 1949 and produced until 1985, the Model 18 is built on the square butt K target frame and features a 4-inch narrow ribbed and pinned barrel. This design enhances both the balance and accuracy of the revolver, making it ideal for target shooting and training. The blue finish gives the Model 18 a timeless appearance, while its serrated ramp base front sight and micrometer click adjustable rear sight allow for precise aiming and quick adjustments. The 6-shot cylinder is fluted and counterbored, with a nominal length of 1.62 inches, adding to the revolver's functionality and ease of use. The Model 18 is equipped with walnut Magna-style grips, adorned with Smith & Wesson medallions and diamond patterns around the screw escutcheon, which not only enhance its visual appeal but also provide a comfortable and secure hold. The revolver's action is double-action, which contributes to its versatility and reliability. Early postwar models feature a 6-groove backstrap and fore strap, while later versions are equipped with a 10-groove serrated backstrap and fore strap, reflecting advancements in design and user preference. Notable variations of the Model 18 include a stainless steel version produced in the early 1970s, which was stamped Model 65 and is exceedingly rare due to most being destroyed in 1978. The Model 18 was reintroduced in 2009 as part of the Classic series, though it was discontinued again in 2011. Its enduring popularity among collectors and shooters alike underscores its significance in Smith & Wesson's illustrious lineup.
