📖 About the Smith & Wesson Model 43
The Smith & Wesson Model 43 is a lightweight .22 LR caliber revolver built on the classic J Frame platform. Known as the ".22/.32 Kit Gun Airweight," it combines the compact J Frame size with the economical .22 Long Rifle cartridge, making it ideal for small game hunting, plinking, and training.
The Model 43 features an aluminum alloy frame that significantly reduces weight compared to steel-frame variants, earning it the "Airweight" designation. This makes it an excellent choice for extended carry or field use where weight is a consideration.
🎯 Understanding J Frame Revolvers
The J Frame is Smith & Wesson's smallest revolver frame size, introduced in the 1950s. The hand-ejector design allows the cylinder to swing out to the left for quick loading and unloading. Spent cases are ejected simultaneously by pushing the ejector rod.
This time-tested double/single action design has remained largely unchanged for decades, a testament to its reliability and effectiveness. The J Frame platform is one of the most popular concealed carry and backup gun platforms in history.
