Smith & Wesson Handguns Including Post-War Revolvers and Modern M&P Pistols

At Collectors Firearms, Smith & Wesson spans considerably more than one style or period of handgun production. Our selection can move from mid-century .38 Special revolvers through later .357 and .44 Magnum models to current M&P and Performance Center pistols. Recent examples have included a 1955 Chief’s Special, a 1961 Model 10, a 1980s Model 586, and modern M&P9 configurations. Across those firearms, frame family, model designation, dash number, barrel length, finish, and other production characteristics help distinguish one example from the next.

J-, K-, L-, and N-Frames Organize Much of the Revolver Selection

Frame size is one of the defining distinctions within Smith & Wesson revolver production. In our inventory, compact J-frames can appear alongside K-, L-, and N-frame revolvers, giving collectors several frame families to compare before narrowing the search to a particular model.

Someone searching for a Smith & Wesson 38 Special for sale might encounter firearms from more than one frame family. We have represented a 1955 Chief’s Special and a 1961 Model 10, for example, both chambered in .38 Special but belonging to different Smith & Wesson models and configurations. When considering a Used Smith & Wesson 38 Special Revolver, details such as frame, barrel length, grips, finish, production period, and condition provide a fuller picture than caliber by itself. An S&W Bodyguard 38 for sale may also appear in our inventory when available.

Dash Variations Add Another Layer to Model 29 Collecting

Model numbers tell only part of the story with many post-war Smith & Wesson revolvers. We also pay attention to dash designations and period characteristics such as pinned barrels or recessed cylinders when those features apply to the individual example.

Our selection has included a 1970s Model 29-2 chambered in .44 Magnum with an 8.375-inch barrel and nickel finish. For collectors seeking a Smith Wesson Model 29 44 Magnum for sale, the dash variation, barrel configuration, grips, finish, originality, and condition give us more useful points of comparison than the model name alone.

The Model 29 Dirty Harry gun association gave the revolver recognition well beyond firearm collecting. In our listings, however, we keep the focus on the characteristics of the particular Model 29 being represented.

M&P Pistols and Performance Center Configurations in Current Production

Our Smith & Wesson selection also extends into current M&P and Performance Center production. M&P9 and Shield pistols can appear alongside specialized Performance Center configurations, giving customers another side of the manufacturer’s handgun lineup to consider.

Customers searching for a Smith & Wesson MP9 2.0 for sale may find different M2.0 or Performance Center configurations in our inventory rather than a single standardized version. Barrel, sights, finish, and factory features can vary according to the particular pistol. A Smith Wesson Model 686 Performance Center may also appear among the L-frame Performance Center revolvers we represent when available.

Frame and Dash Details Help Identify the Particular Smith & Wesson

Smith & Wesson’s long production history makes complete model and production details especially useful when comparing revolvers from different periods or revisions. We look beyond the model name to details such as frame family, production-era features, grips, finish, markings, and surviving condition when those characteristics are relevant to the individual firearm.

As a Smith & Wesson Dealer, Collectors Firearms acquires older and current-production examples through auctions, private sales, and buying trips. Available specifications and condition information are presented according to the particular handgun, so buyers can review the details relevant to that firearm.
