From the Vault: Smith & Wesson Triple Lock Revolver
This video from Brownells GunTechs Steve Ostrem and Keith Ford, filmed at Rock Island Auctions, provides an in-depth look at the Smith & Wesson Triple Lock revolver. They showcase an all-original New Century First Model Hand Ejector, detailing its unique three-point cylinder lockup that contributes to its exceptional accuracy. The discussion touches upon the revolver's history and the reasons for its discontinuation, while also briefly referencing a comparison with the Colt Python, acknowledging the latter's greater public recognition. The focus remains on the technical merits and historical significance of the S&W Triple Lock, particularly its tight lockup and .44 Special chambering.
