Need a part for SW J-Frame (a question)

Betcha' then the hand was a replacement at one time.
A newer style part in an old gun??
And that's why it has the third pin.
Oops, slow on the draw, James beat me to it.
 
Oh, no! The gun has not been in my possession for last 50 year. Come to think of it I have not been in my own possession for 50 years, as I am younger... :D I just got this gun on a trade less then a week ago, took it apart for cleaning and found this pin being slightingly bent. For the rest of the story you may refer to the beginning of the tread. But it's interesting thought about the "hand" part being a replacement... In fact while the bore is clean and lockup is good, the gun does show a fair amount of wear, so replacement parts are a good possibility. Either way, thanks again!
 
Ok, just came back from the range with excellent results. Gun shoots great. I put about 70 or 80 rounds through it, not a single hick up or issue. I tried double and single action, rapid fire, you name it. Below is a target with 10 shots in it, 8 yards. Yes, I know I still need to learn how to aim that little thing better. But it's a lot of fun, especially for someone like me, who always shoots heavier revolvers with target sights. :rolleyes:

I want to thank everyone for their input. Even though disassembling revolver ended up being a fairly easy task and I think by now I can do it in my sleep, still it's a firearm. No jokes. As one of the members rightfully said, unlike a pair of watches this thing can explode in your hands. So, all the knowledge of the more experienced members is greatly appreciated.
