It's a model 49 (bodyguard). SN dates it to 1981.

Value is about $400.

The book shows serial numbers ending at 21D0883 in 1983 but then notes they continued until 30D9292. So, between 1983 and 1988.
The gun itself is around $350 but the grips are very desirable factory K frame square butt combats and would sale for $100+ easy by themselves.

Is there something unique about the trigger? That piece on the back is something I can't fnd on anyone else's pictures.

The pictures I have show that trigger on the 1st model and although it's hard to tell, it resembles the 2nd model but not exactly. ???

The SCSW only covers up to late 2004 at CTA prefix.
You'll have to call S&W customer service to get the DOB over the phone for free.

Thanks. Knowing it is newer than 2004 is more than I knew before!

Model 60; +P safe?

Not new to the world of revolvers, but revisiting after a long hiatus.

Recently picked up an M60-7 from a friend...

He was somewhat unsure on the questions I asked, so I was hoping some here might be able to help (found this site after searching for info on the serial number...)

Basically, it appears to be a SS gun, but can I be sure from the serial number? There are a few small rust spots that I'd like to treat under the grips.

What's the best way to treat? Flitz? Vinegar? I've read some stuff, and while I do have flitz on hand, I don't have car wax (which apparently was step 2 of the protection after cleaning/polishing).

Also... Is this gun safe for +P loads? I don't think it's that old, but I really don't know enough about these S&W revolvers to be sure of anything really.

The numbers...

Sorry for the rant... Trying to learn as much as I can about this new technology... ;)
