Function
The cylinder stop is spring-loaded and rises through the bottom of the frame to engage notches in the cylinder, locking it in alignment with the barrel. It works with the hand: as the hand rotates the cylinder the stop drops, then rises again at lockup. The spring supplies the tension for that engagement. A worn stop or weak spring can cause accuracy problems, cylinder binding, or unsafe timing.
About the Model 18
Introduced in 1949 as the K-22 Combat Masterpiece, the Model 18 is a .22 LR target revolver on the medium K Frame, with adjustable sights, a 6-shot cylinder and typically a 4 inch barrel. It handles like a centerfire K Frame while being cheap to shoot.
How to Identify Your S&W Model
Swing out the cylinder and check behind the yoke on the frame for the stamped model number. You should see "18" or a dash variant such as "18-1" or "18-2". Model numbers began in 1957-58, so a revolver without one may be a pre-model K-22. Contact us with your serial number if you need help.
Condition Notes
