Description

Smith Wesson Model 48 22 Magnum 6 Inch Overview
The Model 48 is a 22 Magnum K-frame revolver from the Smith & Wesson Classics series, which recreates some of the most famous and collectible designs the company ever made with modern manufacturing. This version has a 6-inch barrel, a black carbon steel frame and cylinder, and checkered wood grips. It is a great choice for small game, target shooting, or a collection.
Design and Features
The medium K-frame is a perfect size for a rimfire magnum, giving a full grip and a smooth double-action pull. The six-round cylinder, carbon steel barrel, and black finish give it a classic look, and the wood grips are checkered for a secure hold.
Handling and Carry
The 6-inch barrel provides a long sight radius and helps you get the most velocity from 22 Magnum ammunition. Recoil is mild, so it is pleasant for long range sessions and a great way to introduce new shooters to revolvers.
Trigger and Controls
The double-action/single-action trigger lets you cock the hammer for a light, crisp single-action shot, or shoot double action for speed. S&W K-frame triggers are well known for their smoothness.
Sights and Optics
A Patridge front sight gives a crisp, precise sight picture for target work and small game.
The 22 WMR Cartridge
The 22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire (22 WMR) offers much more velocity and energy than a 22 LR, making it effective for small game and varmints while keeping recoil very light.
Setup and Accessories
Pick a holster made for your revolver’s frame size and barrel length, and add speedloaders or speed strips so you can reload quickly.
Ownership Tips
Read the owner’s manual fully before your first range trip, and keep the manual, box, and receipt with your records for warranty service and resale. Unload the revolver and confirm it is empty before cleaning. Field-strip it according to the owner’s manual, scrub the bore with a brush and patches, and wipe carbon from the breech face and slide rails. Apply a light coat of quality gun oil to the contact points, and wipe the exterior with a lightly oiled cloth before storage.
State Laws
Magazine capacity limits, feature restrictions, and transfer rules vary by state and locality. Check your local laws before ordering, and ask your receiving dealer if you are unsure whether this configuration is legal where you live.
