This video examines the exceptionally rare Ottoman-contract S&W New Model No. 3 revolver chambered in .44 Henry Rimfire. Unlike the standard centerfire production, these revolvers were specifically requested by the Ottoman Empire to utilize the same rimfire ammunition as their existing 1866 Henry rifles. The Ottomans acquired these rimfire No. 3s, including the New Model variant, between 1874 and 1883. The video highlights the unique nature of this rimfire production run, contrasting it with the more common centerfire versions.
