This "From the Vault" video from Brownells Gun Tech™ features Keith Ford showcasing his vintage Smith & Wesson 22/32 Kit Gun. The video delves into the history of this compact .22 LR revolver, tracing its origins back to the 22/32 Heavy-Frame Target model of 1911. Ford highlights the 1934 introduction of the shorter-barreled "Kit Gun" variant, designed for portability in everyday kits. He discusses its significance during the Great Depression as a tool for hunting and fishing, and provides specific details on identifying features of a pre-war model manufactured in 1941. The video also touches upon its redesignation as the Model 34 in 1957, its move to the J-frame, and the subsequent development of the Model 63 and current Model 317 Kit Gun variants.
