SMITH & WESSON .32 Hand Ejector SELF DEFENSE Revolver C&R ROARING TWENTIES

Smith & Wesson’s First “Swing Out” Cylinder Revolvers

Here we present a C&R Smith & Wesson Hand Ejector 3rd Model Revolver made circa the Roaring Twenties era with a production run between 1917 and 1942 in Springfield, Massachusetts. The serial number range of these ran from approximately 263,001 to 536,684. The Regulation Police model was manufactured during this same production run with serial numbers running concurrently with those of the .32 Hand Ejector model.

The “Hand Ejector” models were the first time S&W made a revolver with a swing-out cylinder. Interestingly, there is no cylinder latch, but the action opens by pulling forward on the exposed portion of the cylinder pin. This frees the spring tension and allows the cylinder to swing free. Another novel feature of this model is the cylinder stop location, which is located in the top of the frame over the cylinder. This revolver is chambered for .32 Long cartridges, has a 6-shot fluted cylinder and was offered with 3.25″, 4.25″ and 6″ long barrels. Available with a round or square butt, it also came with checkered hard rubber grips and was either blued or nickel-plated. Factory installed target sights were available by special order.

The overall condition is very good. Some original finish has been preserved. The action is strong, but the timing is intermittently late. Shiny bright bore with sharp rifling. Solid grips, but the right side is missing a chip from the butt. Numbers match. Markings are legible.
