This is one you don’t see very often. Smith & Wesson Model 14-7… a transitional revolver for Smith & Wesson. Underlug barrel & round butt. Revised lock work and a MIM hammer. Likely the start of Smith & Wesson making everything with a round butt. The 14-7 began production in 1997 and went out of production in 1999 when everything was produced with an internal lock following the infamous law suit brought about by the US Government.
This one is in about 99% condition save the burred side plate screw, courtesy of the previous owner… an easy fix. The front and rear sight blades are tall enough to chop wood with. Any thoughts or observations about why that was done would be much appreciated. This one followed me home today from my LGS. This dealer is primarily focused on tactical firearms. As far as he was concerned, this was just another 38 Special revolver… $750 + tax.
