Smith & Wesson 44 Triple Lock Complete Specs and Full Gun Specifications

Manufactured between 1907 and 1915. This example was shipped in 1917 and features standard S&W markings with an importer marking on the butt, matching serial numbers on the butt, right grip panel, cylinder and ejector shroud and assembly number "5716" on the yoke and crane. Most S&W experts are of the opinion that the triple lock mechanism was more an expression of the ultimate in precision machine work than as a necessity for strength and function. Smith & Wesson's normal two locks provided more locking strength than their competitor Colt.
