Prototype Birdshead Grip S&W No.3 Russian (ad-free)
Added 2023-03-06 12:00:02 +0000 UTCThis revolver appears to be one of the pre-production prototypes S&W made for the Russian No.3 revolver contract. Its frame has been expertly converted to a birdshead style. It handles very nicely, but was apparently not ultimately desired by the Russian purchasing commission, and the design was not used beyond this prototype sample.

Definitely a Bisley grip.

2023-03-06 21:17:25 +0000 UTCIsn’t that more a Bisley style grip than a birds head? Great job, I love your videos.
2023-03-06 17:40:29 +0000 UTCVery cool; I've certainly never seen a No 3 like that before...
