Produced in 1970, this particular Model 14-3 exemplifies the revolver’s mid-century evolution and continued popularity among law enforcement and civilian marksmen. Its smooth double-action trigger and six-shot capacity offer versatility for both deliberate target practice and responsive shooting. Built on the same robust K-frame as the iconic Model 10, the Model 14-3 offers the same reliability with enhanced target features. Widely respected and even authorized for duty by the LAPD during the 1960s and early '70s, the Model 14-3 remains a collector's favorite and a benchmark for accuracy in revolver design.
