2nd VS 3rd Gen Colt SAA

Hi,
I was hoping that someone could explain to me the difference (mechanically) between the two guns. As a side note, I was hoping that you might be able to tell me if my gun is a 2nd or 3rd. It is a commerative from 1976, which, I beleive, is the transition year. The serial number doesn't fall into the standard range (it's a few numbers off of 0000PM). Thanks!!

Howdy Stokes,

I'm going to move this to Harley Nolden's Firearms Research forum.
