This video delves into the history and production of the Smith & Wesson No. 3 Russian Model revolvers manufactured at the Tula Arsenal in Russia. The Russian government was a significant buyer of these revolvers, with over 300,000 acquired directly from S&W and through Ludwig Loewe. By the 1880s, Tula Arsenal began licensed production, yielding approximately 35,000 units between 1886 and 1893.
