Introduced in 1953 as the Military & Police Airweight, renamed the Model 12 in 1957, the lightweight version of Smith & Wesson’s super-popular six-shot .38 Special service revolver went through its siblings’ “dash-X” modifications up through Model 12-4 before lack of sales finally caused its discontinuance in 1986.
