Smith & Wesson's Model 34-1 Kit Gun is a .22 LR revolver built on the small J-frame, and this one dates from the 1980s. It has a 4-inch barrel, a nickel finish and wood grips, and the overall condition is excellent. Serial number M204053.

The Kit Gun got its name because it fits in a tackle box or a pack, and that is still the role for it in Pennsylvania: a light .22 revolver for the cabin, the trout stream or an afternoon of plinking at the club. The 4-inch barrel gives a usable sight radius for teaching a new shooter, and .22 LR keeps practice cheap. Nickel also shrugs off the damp that comes with Pennsylvania springs and falls. In excellent condition, a 1980s Model 34-1 is also the kind of revolver that collectors of small-frame Smiths look for.
