Overview

The Smith and Wesson Model 13 is a fixed-sight K-frame revolver chambered in .357 Magnum. It was introduced in 1974 specifically for the FBI and law enforcement agencies that wanted .357 Magnum power in a compact K-frame. The Model 13 features a heavy barrel and a shrouded ejector rod. It shares the same frame size as the Model 10 but is built to withstand the higher pressure of the .357 Magnum round. The FBI used the Model 13 with a 3-inch barrel as their standard issue sidearm.
