b.read - The book has much less information on semiautos than revolvers, mentioning only that SNs started at 1001 in 1954, continuing to 115000 in 1970 before switching over to an "A" prefix, and eventually switching over to the 3-letter prefix in 1984. There's some year-by-year info on the letter-prefix SNs, but that's it on the older ones.
