Smith & Wesson Model 48 .22 WMR 4-inch K-Frame Classic

The S&W Model 48 with 4-inch barrel is the shorter service-length configuration of the K-frame .22 WMR revolver. The 4-inch barrel provides a more compact handling package compared to the 6-inch target version while retaining the full K-frame grip and trigger. Less common than the 6-inch variant and now discontinued along with the entire Model 48 line.
