S&W used the serial numbers K317823 -K350547 in 1958. K-22 Masterpiece, Which in 1957 became the Model 17. After 1957 the 4 inch version was sold as the Model 18. In 1985 the Model 18 was discontinued and S&W went back to the 4 inch barrel Model 17. What gos around comes around

Your gun, do with it what ever you wish, but in my opinion if you sell it to buy a LCP you are trading a silk purse for a sows ear. Just my opinion and I have others.
