JusticeForAll said:My father just gave me my first handgun to use for protection of my first home. However it is an older model (198x) and I am trying to determine if I can use a +p round in it.
Its a S&W Air weight Bodyguard .38 spl.
Serial Number is BBT9xxx
Can someone tell date it for me, and possibly tell me if it would be dangerous/damaging to the firearm to use a +p round?
1992.Model 5906: TYP54**
In order to make an accurate guess, you need to identify the model number, or if it's pre-58, you need to tell us whether it's an I-frame or K-frame. (S&W didn't make any J-frame .22's until they axed the I-frame in 1962.)mine is a .22 with a 4" barrel and has 2 different sets of numbers on it. 58042 and 11398. Anyone have a clue when it may have been made?
Their serial numbering system- or, more specifically prior to March 1984, their lack of a consistent system- would foul any attempt to publish a "readily available" index. The numbers are just too mixed up.it's too bad s&w sn aren't readily available.
Thanks, that is in fact the only "serial" number on it. I haven't seen it, he sent me a pic but it didn't come out so I asked for another.
Thanks,
Don
Edit: Here are the pics he sent me. The same number appears in both places and there is no number on the bottom of the grip.
