Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The term “kit gun” originated many years ago when the need was felt for a small, accurate .22 cal revolver that could be packed easily in a hunting or fishing kit. Such a gun would be ideal for bagging small game, snake protection, economic plinking fun, or, in an emergency, self-defense. Smith & Wesson fulfilled this need with a series of small-frame, adjustable-sight high-quality revolvers with 2 and 4-inch barrels. A .22 magnum Model 650 stainless was introduced in 1983. The 650 is the only Kit Gun ever produced with a 3” bull barrel, only in the round butt and nonadjustable frame rear sights. A “Special Order” with an accompanying .22 LR cylinder was occasionally available during its production years. These highly desired 650 Special Order sets are estimated to be less than 100 produced. The 650 was discontinued in 1988.
