OTIS 1894 - .22 LR - 7 ROUNDS - 2.5 " BARREL. THIS AGED BEAUTY IS IN VERY GOOD CONDTION. The Otis Smith Safety Hammerless Revolver is a rare, late 19th-century American pocket pistol that stands out as a unique piece of firearms history. Manufactured by the Otis A. Smith Manufacturing Company in Connecticut-often under marketing contracts with companies like Maltby-Henley-this "Model 1894" single-action hammerless revolver was built as a premium concealable self-defense weapon. Unlike the cheap "suicide specials" of the era, Otis Smith firearms were recognized for their surprisingly thick cylinder walls and higher-grade craftsmanship. This specific variant is chambered in the highly desirable and affordable .22 LR (Rimfire) caliber, offering a fascinating blend of historical novelty and classic mechanical design. This late-1890s pocket pistol features a solid iron frame with a classic nickel finish, original checkered hard rubber grips boasting the prominent "OAS" maker's initials, and a sleek, snag-free internal hammer design. A perfect addition for any collector specializing in antique pocket wheel-guns or eccentric 19th-century American engineering! With a firearm this age, we recommend you having your local gunsmith check it out before attempting to fire. Modern .22lr ammo is not recommended. The cylinder freely spins until you engage the firing mechanism, then it locks up in place tightly. We assume this is due to its age but otherwise works mechanically fine, and buyers should be aware. **SPECIFICATIONS** Manufacturer: OTIS Model: 1894 Caliber: .22LR Magazines: N/A Sights: FIXED HALF MOON FRONT BLADE / GROOVEDTOP STRAP REAR Weight: 12 OZ Overall Length: 5.88" Barrel Length: 2.5" SERIAL NUMBER: NSN SKU NUMBER: G-I-16105
