About this handgun
The Smith & Wesson Model 648 is an all-stainless K-frame revolver chambered in .22 WMR with an 8-round cylinder. The 6 in full-underlug barrel adds weight up front, so it hangs steady on target and recoil is close to nothing. A Patridge front sight paired with an adjustable rear gives a crisp, precise sight picture. Synthetic finger-groove grips fill the hand. At 46.2 oz and 11.1 in long it is a natural fit for target shooting, small-game hunting and teaching new shooters on a full-size double-action revolver.

A note on accuracy. We work hard to keep every listing correct, but specifications, images and compliance details come from many sources and can contain errors or change without notice. Images may show a configuration that is not California-legal. If a detail on this page matters to your decision, call us and we will confirm it against the actual firearm before you order. The compliance information here is general in nature and is not legal advice; California and local laws change, and the configuration described is confirmed at the time of sale. All sales are subject to applicable federal, state and local law and to the buyer's eligibility to purchase.
