Description
The Smith & Wesson Model 43 Classic is a double-action-only revolver chambered in 22 LR, built on the legendary aluminum-alloy J-frame that has defined S&W snub-nose revolvers for generations. This Centennial-pattern eight-shooter carries 8 rounds behind a 1.88″ stainless steel barrel finished in matte black, paired with a matching matte black aluminum cylinder.
The Model 43 Classic carries on the Centennial heritage with a concealed internal hammer for a snag-free draw from a pocket or holster, and this variant ships without an internal key lock to meet the requirements of states such as California and Massachusetts. The double-action-only trigger pull keeps the profile clean and the operation simple, while XS White Dot sights up front paired with a fixed U-notch rear offer fast, intuitive target acquisition at close range.
Black finger-groove grips fill the hand comfortably, and at just 11.5 ounces empty the 43C is light enough for all-day pocket carry yet hefty enough to keep recoil and muzzle flip manageable. Overall length is 6.25″, making it one of the most compact revolvers in the Smith & Wesson catalog. Proudly made in the USA at S&W’s Springfield, MA facility, the Model 43 Classic is equally at home as a personal protection companion or as a fun, affordable rimfire plinker at the range.
