The Model 15 has a rich history, initially introduced in 1949 as the K-38 Combat Masterpiece, with the goal of offering a highly accurate revolver for target shooting and law enforcement use. It was designed to fire the .38 Special cartridge and quickly became a favored firearm due to its balance, manageable recoil, and accuracy. In 1957, Smith & Wesson transitioned to the numerical model system, rebranding the K-38 as the Model 15. The revolver enjoyed a production run that lasted for five decades, until its discontinuation in 1999, though limited runs under the Heritage Series continued in the years that followed. In 2011, Smith & Wesson reintroduced a retooled version of the Model 15 under its Classics Revolvers line, which was produced until 2013. Throughout its history, the Model 15 has earned a reputation for its craftsmanship, reliability, and accuracy, making it a beloved model among collectors and shooting enthusiasts alike.
