Keeping Traditions Alive Since 1953

Some revolvers earn their reputation over decades, and the Model 63 is one of them. This is Smith & Wesson's modern take on the classic .22/32 Kit Gun, a stainless steel J-Frame in .22 LR that was originally built to ride along in a hunter's or fisherman's gear bag. The current version keeps that same go-anywhere spirit while adding an 8-round cylinder and a HI-VIZ fiber optic red front sight that picks up light fast, paired with a fully adjustable rear so you can dial in your zero for whatever ammo you feed it.
At around 24.8 ounces unloaded with a 3-inch barrel and 7.25-inch overall length, this revolver hits a sweet spot. It has enough steel to sit steady in the hand and soak up what little recoil .22 LR produces, yet it stays light and compact enough to wear on your hip all day without noticing it. The double action/single action trigger gives you options too. Run it double action for fast follow-up work on pests or cock the exposed hammer for a crisp single action break when you want to stretch out on small game or tin cans.
The satin stainless frame, barrel, and cylinder shrug off weather and rough handling in a way blued guns never could, which is exactly what you want in a revolver that lives outdoors. The synthetic grip keeps its hold when your hands are wet or cold, and the full lug barrel adds just enough weight up front for steady shot placement.
There is one more trick this gun does well: it makes a fantastic understudy for centerfire J-Frames. Same frame, same controls, same trigger feel, but with cheap rimfire ammo and almost no recoil. Whether you are introducing a new shooter to wheelguns, keeping your carry revolver skills sharp, or just after a dependable trail companion, the Model 63 covers a lot of ground for one compact package.
It's one of the better choices out there for someone starting on wheelguns. The .22 LR chambering means almost no recoil and inexpensive ammo, so new folks can put in real trigger time without flinching or breaking the bank. The 24.8-ounce steel frame also holds steadier on target than the featherweight alloy rimfire revolvers.
Yes, and that's a big part of its appeal. It shares the same J-Frame size, grip, cylinder release, and double action trigger feel as centerfire models like the 642 or Model 60. You get realistic practice on the same platform for a fraction of the ammo cost.
The rear sight is fully adjustable for windage and elevation, so you can zero it to your preferred load. Up front you get a HI-VIZ fiber optic red sight that gathers light and stands out quickly against most backgrounds, which is a big step up from the plain ramp sights found on most small revolvers.
This is the classic Kit Gun, so it shines as an outdoors companion for hikers, campers, anglers, and trappers dealing with pests or taking small game. It's equally at home as a plinker and range gun, and the stainless construction handles weather and field wear without fuss. The 8-round cylinder gives you a couple extra shots over traditional 6-shot rimfire wheelguns too.
