I have an N Frame 27-2 according to the inside grips is dated March 1980. Can anyone verify the serial number's date of manufacture?
N 730970.
1973.The s/n on butt of gun is 5k23xxx.
Yes.I have heard I can use +P ammo in these revolvers if dated after 1957. Would you agree with that?
1991 or 1988.S&W Model 41 sn# Tgy79XX or Tby79XX.
You're missing a digit on the 17-2. Assuming it's K63XXXX, it's 1965.could I get dates for a 17-2 K63xxx and a 18-4 270Kxxx
I just got my hands on a cheifs special, flat latch. I was told it was from 1952 SN 184XX, and was carried by police chief from NJ as his off duty weapon. I have been searching this thread and found nothing close to that range of serial numbers.
I was also wandering why an old set of J frame grips are too long and are about 1/8" past the frame.
The patent dates and SN make it a .38 Double Action Perfected Model.I have a S&W .38 five shot revolver, breakover
Model #3, as far as i can tell. Was hoping to get
some info on this weapon. I shoot it from time
to time but never ventured to explore its history.
Thanks for any help..Ser#559XX, .38S&W, Breakover Aug 4,98 Dec 22,98 Oct 8,01 Feb 6,06 Sep 14,09

Are these occasional +P tolerant?
