Description
The Smith & Wesson Model 1905 Hand Ejector in .32 WCF (.32?20) is a quintessential early?20th?century double?action revolver that marked a major evolution in S&W’s service?grade handgun design. Introduced in the early 1900s and refined through multiple engineering changes, the 1905 Hand Ejector became a favorite among law enforcement officers, ranchers, and target shooters thanks to its smooth action, durable steel construction, and practical accuracy.
Its defining feature—the swing?out cylinder with manual ejection—represented a significant advancement over S&W’s earlier top?break revolvers, offering faster reloads and improved structural strength. With its 6?shot cylinder, fixed blade?and?notch sights, and checkered walnut or hard?rubber grips, the Model 1905 delivers classic revolver ergonomics with unmistakable vintage charm. Available in blued or nickel finishes and multiple barrel lengths, it remains a highly collectible piece of S&W history.
