Yo - Oneounceload - I'm here to support Carguychris:

The thing he didn't mention, is that until 1980, S&W used the same number runs on different guns. If it was a different caliber, or frame size, it could have the same s/n. So he's not being a doof when he asks about size, pics, etc. to ID the gun. It's really that complicated with S&W's. If you can just get a pic of the gun, both sides, and as many as possible, and the number, that will help. Also, there were letter prefixes that dictated the S/N - but not right in front of them. The "S" or "C" or other might be a few spaces in front of the number.

Hope this helps; S&W IDs take some effort. Carguychris isn't string you out, just trying to be correct.
