Smith & Wesson® Model 1854 Full Overview

[@Nannuq]

Hopefully down the road they add 460s&w and 500s&w to the lineup

[@samuelrodriguez1314]

There’s wants and there’s needs. I need that rifle 🙌🏼

[@brock3426]

Mine just came in today and picked it up after work. Did not get a chance to shoot it,but I've been playing around with it, checking it out. Mine feels like it is really well built and fit, and the finish is great. Action is smooth as butter, and the lever is not sloppy. A little front heavy because the thick barrel but not bad. Pics make it look bigger than it is. once you get it in hand, it still feels compact handy. For having a polymer stock, it dont feel cheap like some do. It's pretty solid, but pad is nice not too hard not to soft. All and all well made gun. Just got to see how it shoots. If you plan on getting one shop around, the price are all over the place. Some companies are selling well over msrp some are selling just a little under or around the same as msrp. Buds has them last time i looked for 1600 lol no thanks they can keep them. I got mine from a place in Colorado springs for a little under msrp. Other place was out of stock

[@dubras1]

Shot mine for the first time.'I'm in love. S&W always a good purchase

[@claiborneeastjr4129]

Will likely be a winner, as we love lever actions.

[@dannysmith9217]

Can't wait to do a factory tour of the new facility. My S&W 629 needs a life's partner 😂. Perfect Combo. Thanks Schmiff 🎉

[@louisgiokas2206]

That's what I was thinking for my 629. That gun is my first handgun, and I've taken a lot of deer with it.

[@lorh10]

S&W ,Why not make a lever gun in stainless steel to handle the S&W .500 OR THE .460 ? My guess it would be an instant hit among any firearm person ! I used to hint that idea to the Marlin folks .....

[@Tigershark-qy2gq]

Me too. Constantly. They never listened. Hopefully S&W will realize the .460 and .500 were meant to be in this rifle line. I'd buy both calibers instantly upon release. I'd preorder them if they said they were coming imminently.

[@davidlang80]

I am not a fan of the all-weather look but then I saw this gun end it is just done right it looks beautiful in person. I picked one up and just love shooting it. It's my go-to gun now I'm going to try hunting with it this year. Can't wait till the fall season😊

[@chrisb9478]

Nice lever gun, but I bet Henry Repeating Arms is like, WTH Smith? 😂

[@cleetismcdougall5425]

All Henry probably thinks is….Nice wobbly trigger S&W.

[@nikgedz1538]

Beleive it or not but S&W had rights or some sort of hand in the influences of Henry and Winchester lever guns back in the day so Henry cant really be pissed at S&W coming back. I wish S&W would bring back their Volcanic pistol both in the original form amd modern day config. That woulda been cool

[@craigwilliamsSeekTheLord]

Nicely done, I’d like to try one out sometime soon.

[@Emily_M81]

I want one. I saw it on the website over the weekend and added it to my list (the steel one here)

[@tjwright2580]

what is with the bouncy trigger?

[@thor992000]

Great vid! Is this rifle going to be offered in more calibers?

[@FyremaelGlittersparkle]

I know from having looked at the instruction manual, they are planning on offering this in .357/.38 special.

[@timbersniper2084]

LOVE THIS GUN!! please please please please make one in .500 S&W!!!!!!!!!

[@lordallenpatterson5313]

I added it to my Christmas list. Just hope Santa will remember my address.

[@SardonicDog]

Mine is on order.

[@Kleffmoto]

Awesome, now make it in 45/70?

[@louisgiokas2206]

Great for the American hunter, yes, but lots of others could use it too. Once, a relative from Germany was visiting my home. He had gotten into hunting late in life. He had a house in the country and joined the local guild. They were actually responsible for game control in an area. So, he went from a novice hunter to bagging 50 deer and 50 wild hogs a year. The thing is that they can sell the meat. I tell this story because when I showed him my Winchester 94 Trapper in .44 Rem. Mag. his eyes went big. He said that would be the perfect hog gun.

[@FyremaelGlittersparkle]

I'd be interested in buying one of these, but that trigger play concerns me. When you see the man operating the lever, that trigger is wobbling back and forth pretty freely and you can see a lot of take-up in the pull when he goes to fire the shot. It seems like a trigger job to shim up that trigger or at least take 90% of the creep out of it should be done BEFORE it leave the factory. I was always under the impression lever actions were supposed to have nice, crisp triggers, akin to those on a 1911.

[@cleetismcdougall5425]

Yep, first thing I noticed on other videos. I don’t think Henry has much to worry about unless S&W gets smart and starts cranking out 357/38….and actually keeps suppliers stocked.

[@flydad9851]

The fuck? Leever? Who the hell told you leever?

[@ryankraft7397]

PLEEEEASE make it in .500 Smith and Wesson!?!?!?!?

[@pistolgrip44mag]

Saw the price. Keep it!

[@davidinoklahoma5627]

I heard a S&W rep at the SHOT show call the 1854 44 mag a “throw back to our heritage”. I’m a 10mm guy since about 1990. Super excited with the S&W M&P 10… bought two. Both jammed regularly, (failure to feed), The magazine fell out the bottom while shooting in both, and on one the supplied plastic optics plate cracked, the screws sheered, and my RMR flew backwards over my head. I sent them back to S&W twice. Failure to feeds continued after receiving them back each time. Called a third time and was transferred to a girl who sounded quite young. She interrupted me, talked over me, and told me that my request that S&W exchange my pistols wasn’t going to happen since the issues were fixable. And she said that I “should shoot better quality ammo”. I guess higher quality than the Federal, Fiocci, Mag Tech, Sig, and Hornady that I had written them about failing, and that I spent a fortune on testing their guns. I filed a BBB complaint but through mediation had no confidence in S&W’s offer to “service my guns”, (for the third time). I wonder if engineering a defective product and then having an arrogant and entitled sounding young lady dismiss your victims is also a throwback to S&W’s heritage; or perhaps rather, they are turning over in their graves.

[@Vladimir-xq6rz]

What in the world does this have to do with this gun???

[@davidinoklahoma5627]

@@Vladimir-xq6rz Nothing, other than my opinion that S&W produces defective products. But more related to this post, the S&W 1854 lever gun might also be a defective product. See for yourself, but my take was the new S&W 1854 Lever action repeatedly jammed attempting to feed 44 Special rounds in Honest Outlaw's review last week.

[@Truthoscope91]

Drop the price by $100 and you'll undercut all comparative offerings from Henry and Marlin. Recommend if you want to really move units

[@cleetismcdougall5425]

Lever guns in popular calibers for the Henry X series are sold out immediately. Why would they lower the price when others are going up?

[@riner9]

so many people hung up on the enlarged loop but it doesn't bother me at all...rarely wear gloves and average sized hands for a 6'4" guy

[@richarddangles69]

Take ur leever talk back to the Queen man, thought we won that war... It's a lever action, and this is America 🇺🇸

America has many regional dialects.

The first E is before the consonant so it then becomes a long E since there is another vowel AFTER the consonant. Not British English, just the way our language is pronounced. Open a book, please.

When is it being released in .357 Magnum????????

[@TT-ch2pz]

Wish there was a 16" barrel version.

[@cleetismcdougall5425]

Exactly. 19in isn’t bad until you add a suppressor. Henry’s new 300BO lever gun has too long of a barrel too.

[@ugurarslan255]

👍 Very Nice 👍

[@LisaElliott-l9g]

Will you sell in Canada. Please respond

[@MrNedsaabdickerson]

Why does the trigger flop around? I was all about this gun until I noticed the trigger seems to be flopping around

[@brethatch2244]

Just bought mone yesterday, with the wood stock and blk finish Probably end up sending it in fir warrenty already. Not one shot fired and action locked up and now safety doesn't work. Pretty daming with a BRAND NEW firearm.....

[@TMFShooting]

Luv it '' 💯💥💥💥💥💥💥💥

[@davidallen-ro7kc]

Nice looking rifle. Price point would be nice in your video?

[@cleetismcdougall5425]

I looked it up a week ago, I think it is $1300 MSRP. It is posted on the S&W website.

[@alexanderstordeur9434]

Looks a lot like a Marlin

[@goodcitizen64]

Because it basically is!

[@DonaldBriggs-i9y]

Cool gun

[@resolute123]

10mm?

[@greggclement9458]

Just a fair warning: The S&W M-1854 has not been approved for SASS use. The aft sight must be tang or barrel mounted. The threads will also be a NO NO. The M-Lock is not allowed either. Good luck!! So it's a lEEver action rifle. LOL. Americans usually say lever action.

[@cliffguthrie7530]

Looks like you’re running allen or torx head screws which should facilitate takedown cleaning?

[@nutsarefancy]

Why is it not in larger a calibers?

[@cleetismcdougall5425]

It just got introduced. More in the future.

[@amosclark9048]

Still working on the formula. /s

[@michaelogden5093]

Floppy trigger?

[@legendlob1317]

Love this gun don’t have but want it

[@Kattbirb]

Smith and Wesson was indeed the first to patent a lever gun. It was terrible. They sold off the rights as soon as possible. It later inspired the Henry rifle, which was actually useful. There's your history for the day.

[@ajaxinfinitum5604]

9rounds of 44 Mag, for 1300$?😊 I don't think so.

[@nunyabeezwax1413]

Missed the mark again with no 460 or 500 magnum … you guys are on a roll with flops as of late

[@cleetismcdougall5425]

😂 Yeah, those calibers don’t really fly off the shelves. Companies usually want to sell something that will….sell.

[@ryankraft7397]

.500 !!!!!

[@brianmoore1164]

Okay, so you made the plastic Han Solo model for the kids, but could you at least mention the one that looks like a gun?

[@ChargerusPrime]

Love this rifle, but GOOD GOOGLY MOOGLY GOD ALMIGHTY fix the slop in that damn trigger!!!! Can't stand how loose that trigger is.

[@scottz63]

Lifelong S&W fan here, 45+ years. I have a large collection of S&W revolvers and pistols. I would not have this lever gun in my collection though. A rail on a lever gun, NO. Synthetic stocks with M-Lock slots on a lever gun, NO. Threaded barrel on a lever gun, NO. You are not Honoring an historic milestone by catering to this new generation Zero and all of their tacticool crap on a lever gun. It does not belong nor does it look good. I am on a lot of large gun forums as a long time member and most people do not like this. Bring out a classic wood and steel lever gun with classic sights and I'm in.

[@FlapjackKalanchoe]

If this gets zoomers into the gun community, I think we should celebrate it. The 2A needs to live past your or my generation. Let them have fun and exercise their rights. They might even buy some classics after getting the new hotness.

[@JohnSmith-xv2ob]

They DO have a classic wood and steel version slated for release. Plus, while I prefer wood and steel for anesthetics, you could apply this same logic to any type of gun, and if that were the case, Firearms would never evolve. If you don't like it, or the wood offering they have on the website, grab a Henry. Those are great. But personally I like the synthetic look for one reason; rust proofing.

[@cvr527]

I have to add to what has already been said. I have several traditional levers that I love. What this model gives is the ability to easily and securely mount a tac-light to the gun. This is an essential piece of equipment for feral hogs in low light and or bears/dangerous animals. The traditional version of this is expensive, but beautiful.

[@5.7Hemi4x4]

Fudds take the fun out of everything, I wish they would add more features. like pre-built Quick release spots, skeletonized stock, red dot mount or piccatinny rails. why ask for less and pay more?

[@FyremaelGlittersparkle]

OK, Boomer. Or Fudd, whichever you prefer.

[@CrackinJacks138]

Way too expensive i can never afford it, i want one bad though

[@Luvr-wv9hv]

Leever action!?! WTF!

[@pontra76]

Like ALL manufacturers these days, way too expensive.

[@Tigershark-qy2gq]

The lever action community is begging for affordable .460 S&W and .500 S&W lever action rifles. I was about to buy a T/C Contender in .500 S&W plus a .460 Smith barrel, but you guys killed that line of single shot T/C rifles. The only company selling .460, and .500 lever actions, are unaffordable at the moment. They're asking $3500 to over $10,000 for their lever rifles. Everyone wants them, but few can afford them. You can change that unfortunate situation for us all that are willing to pay regular prices for a rifle, but not the present insane asking price of the competition. Make the 1854 in those two calibers and I'll buy one in each caliber.

[@LeeLikesLikes]

How about making this in a semi automatic configuration?

[@rickstrandberg6398]

It's too weak a leeevr gun for 460 or 500sw get a bighorn.

[@redteam9881]

Sorry looks like foreign made !

[@epventer275]

Why couldn't you JUST SAY what he LOP is? Probably because it is a mickey mouse gun like all the other lever guns, made for pigmies.

[@topsecretclownbusiness2266]

🤦....wtf???.... you think I want a 200 year old peace. How about no make something Innovative .

[@JohnSmith-xv2ob]

I mean, S&W has been making modern pistols and rifles since their inception. They're not exactly behind the times, and new pistol releases are super common from them. Sooooo buy one of those? Some people like traditional designs, myself included. So if you don't like it, just don't buy it?
