S&W Frame Sizes

A basic hands-on illustration of the common Smith & Wesson frame sizes. This video is in some ways one of my "Basics" videos; however, not necessarily. I could be a very experienced shooter but just don't own any S&W revolvers and am not 100% clear on frame size designations.
Hope this helps.

Can someone tell me if the trigger reach from the backstrap to the trigger is different on a K frame vs a L frame? Does anyone have a wife or girlfriend with small hands who can reach the trigger comfortably on a N frame?

I have the good fortune to own a S&W 686-1 6 1/4" in .357. I really enjoy the fact that it can belch in .357, .38 and +p. Not exactly sure of the frame size. Thought it was a "K" but maybe an "N"? It fits my hand and outshoots me. Also sentimental attachment to it. I cut my teeth on a pre-74 Blackhawk when Dad let me shoot it. Two cylinders. .357/.38 and 9mm. It shot nice,too. I really enjoy the videos and your willingness to teach. I would really enjoy shooting with you some time.

Its obvious that J-frame is a terribly obsolete little thing. Fixed sights on such a short sight radius? And only five rounds? That just wouldn't work as a CCW at all! Great video! It really cleared the frames up for me.
