Item Description
Bryant Ridge Co. is pleased to present this gorgeous double-action revolver today for a penny-start auction…this is the Smith & Wesson Model 14-8 Classic Series!
In 2009, Smith & Wesson reintroduced the Model 14 as part of its limited-production "Classic Series," staying true to its target-shooting heritage. This example features a 6-inch barrel, pinned Patridge front sight, and micrometer-click adjustable rear sight, built on a square-butt K-frame with checkered wood grips. Unlike most Classic Series Model 14s, which were finished in blue, this revolver boasts the rare nickel finish, making it an especially desirable collector’s piece.

Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Smith & Wesson Model 14-8 Classic Series is a modern reintroduction of a legendary target revolver, originally derived from the postwar K-38 Target Masterpiece. Manufactured between 2009 and 2012, this revolver retains the precision and balance that made its predecessors highly regarded among target shooters and collectors. Chambered in .38 S&W Special +P, it offers enhanced performance with higher-pressure loads while maintaining the accuracy and smooth handling expected of a K-frame revolver. The 6-inch barrel, a standard feature for this model, contributes to its excellent sight radius and stability, making it a favored choice for precision shooting. Its nickel finish, a rarer variant, adds an elegant and durable touch, ensuring both aesthetic appeal and resistance to wear.

This Model 14-8 comes equipped with a Patridge front sight and a micrometer-click adjustable rear sight, allowing for fine-tuned accuracy, essential for target competition. The double/single-action mechanism provides versatility, offering a smooth double-action pull for rapid shooting and a crisp single-action trigger break for precision shots. The checkered walnut grips with Smith & Wesson medallions provide a classic look while ensuring a firm hold. Built on a square-butt K-frame, the revolver remains well-balanced and comfortable for extended shooting sessions. Unlike earlier models, this version incorporates an internal lock, a feature introduced in modern S&W revolvers for added safety. With a heritage tracing back to the K-38 Masterpiece, the Model 14-8 continues the tradition of exceptional craftsmanship, blending nostalgia with modern refinements.
As part of Smith & Wesson’s “Classic Series”, this Model 14-8 represents a coveted and limited-production reintroduction of a historic revolver. Produced for only four years (2009–2012), these revolvers were designed to capture the essence of their vintage predecessors while incorporating modern manufacturing techniques. Unlike the original postwar K-38 Target Masterpiece, which saw continuous production for decades, the Classic Series models were released in strictly limited numbers, making them highly desirable among collectors and enthusiasts. This particular example, finished in nickel, is even more uncommon, as most Classic Series Model 14s were produced with a traditional blue finish. The blend of historical design elements—such as the square-butt K-frame, checkered walnut grips, and precision sights—with updated internal features, including the integral lock system, makes this revolver a perfect tribute to the legendary target revolvers of the past while offering reliability and durability for modern shooters.
