Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
In 1911, the Kit Gun line began as the 22/32 an I-Frame, .22LR, 6-shot revolver. These are sometimes called the "pre-war" models. In 1953, an improved model was introduced, the "22/32 Kit Gun, Model of 1953”. In 1958, Smith and Wesson renamed it the Model 34. This production line continued until 1960, when it was redesigned using the slightly larger J-frame and marketed as the model 34–1. The Model 34 continued to be manufactured until 1991.
The Smith & Wesson Target Model 1953 (AKA: Model 35) is a 6" barrel .22LR target revolver also based on the 22/32 model. The rear sight was adjustable for both elevation and windage, the front sight had a distinctive T shaped blade. Manufacture began in 1953, and it was discontinued in 1974.
In 1955, the Model 43 Airweight with an aluminum alloy frame was introduced. In 1960, a .22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire version, the Model 51, was introduced. The Model 43 and 51 were discontinued in 1974.
