![]() ![]() My Mod 18 has the factory "diamond" Gonco Alves grips but I have several other grips that I like better for shooting and it only takes a few seconds to change them. Mod 18s take the same grips as any S&W K or L frame. but if it is like my 18-4, it will loosen up a little with use. a little too tight for rapid reload drills with speed loaders. they last forever and shoot very nice groups. S&W really got it right on these revolvers. just because I'll probably never find another one in new condition plus I really enjoy using it to put many small holes very close together. Even if I were offered much more, I doubt if I would sell it. I have refused offers of $550 for my 18-3. In my area, Mod 18s are scarce as hen's teeth and have really increased in price these last few years. Mod 17s were designed specifically for bullseye competition, as were Mod 14s in 38 Special. 15s and 18s have a "Baughman quick draw" front sight.īack when revolvers were king of the hill, Mod 18 Combat Masterpieces were very popular as practice guns for 4" S&W K-frame 38s. A Mod 17 Masterpiece is basically the same gun only it has a patridge front sight like the Mod 14 Masterpiece. the Mod 18 is a 22 LR clone of the 38 Special Mod 15 Combat Masterpiece. a Mod 15 4" 38 Special, a Mod 17 6" 22 LR and a Mod 14 6" 38 Special. It now resides in special case with it's sisters. After having seller's remorse for about a year, I found a "like new in box" 18-3 at a gun show and scurfed it up for $400. About 5 years ago I had a brain fart and sold it for a handsome profit (more than doubled my money). I owned an 18-4 for many years and put a ton of ammo through it. So, as long as it's not been abused, and taken care of like any other firearm should be, should be a good shooter. I missed a great deal mint in box, a guy wanted $500, was short on cash had to pass it up.Īs much as I love my Rugers, these 22lr S&W's are rugged ( a 22lr in a K frame will last forever) and are much more refined out of the box than the Rugers. 22 shorts, 22 shot, 22CB's and so one.Ī good to fair price in great condition is 500 bux. GREAT GREAT GREAT triggers right out of the box.Īccurate as all heck, takes any 22 ammo. Same as the K19 357 mag combat master piece. They are build on the K target combat masterpiece frame. Mine are models K17's, but it's just a follow on model number change between the 17 and 18. They bypass any other 22, and go right for the S&W K22 combat master pieces wheel guns. Click to expand.IMHO, THE best da/sa 22lr revolver made. ![]()
