The Sixgunner: S&W's Third Model Hand Ejector - Model 1926 .44 Special

"For most sixgun applications we can get by quite well with the old-time, pleasant shooting .45 Colt or .44 Special."

"This was S&W's first foray into a large frame, double action, swing-out cylinder revolver. It may have been their first attempt, but they definitely started at the top with what many would consider the finest big bore double action sixgun ever to come from the mind of man."

"The Model 1926 was offered in blue or nickel, adjustable or fixed sights, with barrel lengths of 4″, 5″ and 6-1/2″. The vast majority were chambered in .44 Special; however, a very few came out of Springfield in .44-40 and .45 Colt."
