Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Smith & Wesson Model 18-3, known as the Combat Masterpiece, represents one of the finest examples of S&W’s commitment to precision rimfire revolvers during the company’s golden era. Introduced as the .22 LR counterpart to the centerfire Model 15, the Model 18 offered the same superb K-Frame balance, exceptional trigger quality, and adjustable-sight accuracy that made S&W famous among police marksmen and competitive shooters. Built with traditional forged components, crisp hand-fitting, and the period’s iconic deep blued finish, the 18-3 showcases the superior craftsmanship that defined Smith & Wesson workmanship in the early 1970s. Collectors and shooters value the Model 18-3 for its historical role as both a training companion and a precision target revolver, allowing shooters to practice fundamentals with the same feel as their service-caliber counterparts. It embodies the era before cost-cutting changes, retaining pinned barrels, recessed cylinders, and classic S&W mechanical integrity. As a result, the Model 18-3 has become increasingly sought after, admired not only for its practical performance but also for its place in Smith & Wesson’s rich legacy of rimfire excellence. For many enthusiasts, it remains one of the most iconic and collectible .22 LR revolvers S&W ever produced.
