Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Smith & Wesson Model 12 is a .38 Special revolver on Smith & Wesson's medium-sized K-frame. It is an aluminum alloy-frame version of the Model 10 (also known as the M&P). It was made from 1952 to 1986 in both two-inch, 17 ounces and four-inch, 19 ounces configurations. Early models used an aluminum cylinder as well as frame. A civilian model of the M13 was released in 1953, called the Military & Police Airweight. This designation was changed in 1957 to the Model 12 Airweight. The Military & Police Airweight initially used both an aluminum cylinder and frame, and weighed only 14.5 ounces. The aluminum cylinder proved insufficiently strong to withstand continued firing with standard .38 Special cartridges, and in 1954, S&W changed over all new production Airweight revolver cylinders to steel, increasing the weight to 18 ounces. The Model 12 variants—12-1, 12-2, and 12-3—used a narrower hammer and had an aluminum grip frame that was 0.08-inch narrower than the standard steel K-frame.
