The Smith & Wesson Model 15 is a six-shot double-action revolver with adjustable open sights produced by Smith & Wesson on the medium-size "K" frame. It is chambered for the .38 Special cartridge and is normally fitted with a 4-inch barrel, though additional barrel options have been offered at various times during its production. It is essentially a shorter-barreled version of the Smith & Wesson Model 14 and an adjustable-sight version of the seminal Smith & Wesson Model 10 with target shooting features.
The Model 15 was introduced in 1949 as the K-38 Combat Masterpiece. It was renamed the Model 15 in 1957, when all Smith & Wesson revolvers were given numerical model numbers. The Model 15's main production run lasted 50 years until 1999, when it was discontinued for approximately a decade, with only brief, limited runs in the Heritage Series line. In 2011, a retooled Model 15 was re-released under the Classics Revolvers line, remaining in production until 2013.
The Hartford S&W M15 Combat Master 6 Inch is patterned after the police and military model that is its real steel counterpart. This version is made with high-quality zinc-infused polymer resin that gives off a distinct weathered metal finish and is almost unrecognizable from a full metal version at a glance. Hartford model guns have been famously known to be incredibly robust and realistic to a tee, having some of the best trigger actions, hammer assembly, and cylinder timing you will find on a replica model revolver. This model comes with 6 dummy shells that are replicas of .357 magnum. A must-have for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
This particular version comes with a buffing patch that allows you to artificially weather the gun for a more authentic aesthetic.
