Product Description

SMITH & WESSON .32 S&W Hand Ejector Model of 1903 SELF DEFENSE Revolver C&R

1914-15 Mfg. CONCEAL & CARRY Nickel Plated Handgun

Here Ancestry Guns presents a C&R Smith & Wesson .32 S&W Hand Ejector Model of 1903 Fifth Change Revolver manufactured circa 1914-15 with the production run between 1910 and 1917 in Springfield, Massachusetts. The serial number range of these ran from 102,501 to approximately 263,000 with a total of around 160,500 of the revolvers manufactured. The Fifth Change once again represents incremental changes to the functionality of the lockwork as compared to the Fourth change.

The “Hand Ejector” models were the first time Smith & Wesson 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 S&W 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.

The overall condition is nearing fine. Original nickel finish is preserved with some holster wear around the muzzle. Excellent action. The bore has a frosted appearance and maintains serviceable rifling. Markings are sharp. Both grips are very good. Numbers match.
