After many years of resisting a revolver chambered for an "automatic" cartridge, I gave in purchased this one. I figured at first I'd just shoot it without clips and use a pencil to kick the empties out, but then I went ahead and got 100, 1/3 moon clips.
Model 1917 Smith & Wesson. S/N indicates it's from 1918. The barrel is 5.5 inches, sights are fixed. It is marked on the butt as US ARMY 1917, and under the barrel as UNITED STATES PROPERTY.
It's got a few scratches and some light rust, but not too bad for almost 100 years old.
