About the Gun

This was S&W's first .22 caliber semi-automatic pistol. All steel construction made for a relatively heavy but very stable and accurate design. This classic model has remained in production since it was introduced in 1957. The design was revised in 1994 when hardwood grips replaced walnut. The original S&W type micro-adjustable rear sight was replaced with a Millett design, and the top of the frame was drilled and tapped to receive optical-sight mounts.

About the Cartridge

The Stevens Arms Co. developed the .22 Long Rifle rimfire cartridge from the .22 Long cartridge case developed 16 years earlier, with a 40 grain round nose bullet loaded to a higher velocity than the older 29 grain .22 Long bullet. Modern .22 Long Rifle High Velocity cartridges drive a 40 grain copper-plated bullet at a muzzle velocity of 1255 fps and muzzle energy of 140 ft-lbs from a rifle barrel. This rimfire cartridge has become the most popular sporting and target shooting cartridge in the world.
