Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Smith & Wesson Model 24-3 is a notable double/single-action revolver chambered in .44 S&W Special, first introduced in 1983 as part of a limited production run. This example is particularly unique, having been refinished from blue to satin nickel, giving it a striking appearance while also enhancing its durability and resistance to corrosion. Originally, the Model 24-3 was produced in a blue finish, with 2,625 units featuring the 4-inch barrel and 4,875 units with the 6-1/2-inch barrel. The refinishing to satin nickel not only improves its aesthetics but also contributes to a more modern look, while preserving the revolver's classic design built on the square-butt N-frame. The 6-shot fluted cylinder, which is a hallmark of the Model 24 series, adds to the revolver's sleek profile, and the removal of the barrel pin in this iteration marks an update to the design, improving strength and function.

This Model 24-3 features a Red Insert Serrated Ramp Front Sight with a white outline, paired with an adjustable rear sight for precise sighting adjustments, ideal for both target shooting and defensive use. The checkered walnut grips, adorned with the iconic S&W medallions, provide a secure and ergonomic hold, further enhancing its shootability. The .265" serrated target trigger and .400" target hammer contribute to a smooth, consistent pull, whether in double or single-action mode. With its Goncalo Alves target stocks, 10-groove serrated backstrap, and forestrap, the revolver offers excellent ergonomics, making it highly functional for those who value precision and performance. The refinished satin nickel finish on this particular example elevates its appeal, making it both a functional firearm and a desirable piece for collectors. Originally produced in a run of 7,500 total units from 1983 to 1984, the Model 24-3 stands as a rare find, especially with its refinished satin nickel finish. Of the initial production, 25 units were factory engraved and finished in nickel, making them particularly rare and highly collectible. This revolver, with its elegant appearance, superb craftsmanship, and unique refinishing, offers an exceptional blend of functionality and collectibility for any enthusiast or collector of fine Smith & Wesson revolvers.
