For a few of the firearms conferences I'm going to attend this year, I think I'm going to display this Smith & Wesson revolver. On the surface, it's in gorgeous shape for such an early example of a Model 1. It left the factory on April 12, 1859 and probably arrived that same day at the offices of Joseph Storrs in New York City. Storrs was Smith & Wesson's sole sales agent back in the day, and he coordinated the distribution of their revolvers around the world. This one is particularly unique, because it's dealer stamped by another distributor: Wolfe, Dash & Fisher. WD&F were hardware wholesalers in New York that also had an office in New Orleans. The Big Easy was a profitable market for wholesalers and distributors, but the logistics of getting goods down there weren't easy to navigate. The company's principles included John Wolfe, Bowie and John B. Dash, and Frederick A. Fisher. If the Wolfe name sounds vaguely familiar, it may be through Catharine Lorillard Wolfe. Catharine was John's first cousin, and she ended up inheriting much of the Wolfe family's wealth—which she used to develop an enormous European art collection. Her bequest of this collection (and a $200,000 endowment) formed the foundation of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's remarkable collection of paintings. WD&F only lasted a few years into the Civil War. The blockades made it next t impossible to move goods south—crippling a major source of their profits. Bowie Dash went on to become an important New York coffee merchant. As for this revolver? It was almost certainly shipped to New Orleans, where it didn't get much use judging by the amount of silver plating left on the brass frame. #smithwesson #smithandwesson #smithandwessonpartner #model1 #modelone #22rimfire #oldgun #oldrevolver #oldguns #oldrevolvers #antiqueguns #antiquegun #antiquerevolver #antiquerevolvers

Ever wonder when the Smith & Wesson J frame was born? Most people would say 1950 (and they'd be correct), but its roots actually go back a lot further than that. In 1896 Smith & Wesson released the .32 Hand Ejector revolver. It was Smith's first revolver that had a side-swing cylinder, and it ended up becoming a staple of the company's product line that remained in production (eventually as the Model 30) until 1976. When Smith & Wesson was developing the Chiefs Special, they started with the .32 Hand Ejector's I frame and modified it to handle the pressure of the heavier .38 Special round. Over several years and with several changes the "modified I frame" that the earliest Chiefs Specials were built on evolved into the "J frame" that we know and love today. It's the same J frame that the 432, 632, 442, and 642 Ultimate Carry revolvers are now based on. And this is where it all begin! This early production example left the factory on February 21, 1896 for a hardware store in Louisville, KY. #smithwesson #smithandwesson #smithandwessonpartner #32swlong #32caliber #32revolver #antiqueguns #antiquerevolvers #oldguns #oldrevolvers #pewpew #rangetime

The Smith & Wesson Model 1854 Series strikes a perfect chord for me, blending historic craftsmanship with modern innovation. It's the kind of rifle that respects tradition while embracing the future, making it a reliable companion for any shooter. Its sleek design, featuring practical M-LOK slots and a convenient mag tube system, demonstrates Smith & Wesson's ability to evolve without losing sight of what makes a firearm great. In the Model 1854, I see a reflection of my own values: a reverence for the past, a bold step towards the future, and a commitment to excellence.

Well, I’ve been hinting at the space/the vertical I find myself in. It is self-defense with less-than-lethal options and products that enhance one's ability to do so with more confidence. Holly 💩, self-defense, protecting your home, your loved ones - yourself is not straightforward and should not be assumed as to what is your right to act on defending yourself or your home. All of my skills in sales, retail, operations, product, marketing, positioning, brand alliances are finally being utilized with purpose. 😇 The company I've aligned myself with - rather they embraced me is www.221btactical.com to further my mission. What is my mission? Oh boy, my belief is that I can help keep people from being put behind 📶’s, and unnecessary outcomes when it comes to self-defense, home defense and just commuting. I'm working with a village/community of people who are so dialed in on how to do so. They're ready to share knowledge on how you can be your own prepared first responder and be a stronger safer person for yourself and the loved ones who count on you to get home. This is a key 🔑 item as they say that is just a part of the products I can deliver to individuals' businesses and municipalities. Watch this video - https://lnkd.in/etKEU9Sm The Major is correct - “everyone needs one.” Additionally, my passion/mission/hope is that everyone has access and some basic skills to use less-than-lethal options and to better understand the importance of the 2A right and the importance of owning a 🔥arm. I have a less-than-lethal partnership announcement 🔉coming soon.🙏 How can you help my mission? I need those very important introductions. To who you ask. Every sales rep, every retailer that sells 💥💥’s, every municipality - anyone who is in the space of self-defense and providing high-caliber products to do so.
