📖 About Smith & Wesson J-Frame Revolvers
The Smith & Wesson J-Frame is the company's smallest revolver frame, introduced in the 1950s. The Model 63 is the stainless steel version chambered in .22 Long Rifle, featuring the classic "hand ejector" design where the cylinder swings out to the left for loading and ejection. The pinned barrel design represents the traditional manufacturing method used before Smith & Wesson transitioned to crush-fit barrels, making these components particularly desirable for collectors and purists.
