Smith & Wesson 43 Classic, 22lr, 1.88" Barrel, 8rd Cylinder, Revolver

The Smith & Wesson Model 43 Classic delivers lightweight reliability in a rimfire J-Frame built for discreet carry and effortless shootability. Chambered in .22 Long Rifle and constructed on an aluminum alloy AirWeight® frame, this Centennial-style revolver is designed for snag-free concealment and minimal recoil. Rooted in the long-standing J-Frame tradition that dates back to 1950, the 43 C blends classic revolver simplicity with modern materials. Its compact 1.88" stainless steel barrel and eight-round capacity make it equally suited for low-recoil defensive carry, kit gun applications, or extended recreational range sessions.

The aluminum alloy frame and cylinder significantly reduce carry weight, making this revolver exceptionally comfortable for pocket or backup carry. The internal hammer configuration eliminates exposed edges, allowing for smooth draws from pockets or holsters without catching on clothing. The high-visibility white dot front sight enhances target acquisition, paired with a fixed U-notch rear for simple, durable sight alignment. Chambered in .22 LR, the 43 Classic offers extremely manageable recoil—ideal for recoil-sensitive shooters, training, or extended practice sessions. With stainless steel barrel construction and the proven simplicity of the J-Frame platform, the Model 43 Classic balances heritage styling with modern concealed-carry practicality.
