S & W serial inquiry
Wow! "Right Here" is such a good answer! Here goes:
S&W 22 revolver s/n 209xx 2 74-150 on yoke 4 74150 on cylinder pistol has adjustable sights. cylinder rod is left hand thread. could not find a series letter. Could it be K series, K frame 1948? or Nframe 1924? What do I have? Thanks for looking, Capt billy |

captbilly,
Did you take the serial number from the underside of the frames grip butt. If you look back at post number 4214 on the last page you'll see where the SN is located. Include any letter prefixes. An adjustable sighted K frame will have a "K" prefix SN. S&W did not offer a N frame in 22. Jim |

It's a "K" frame (medium frame) 357 made in stainless steel. The blued/nickle version was called the model 19. They are very popular guns. Jim |

.38 special
I THINK I'm posting in the right place. After spending a while on the net this seems to be the place to ask.
I was recently given a few of my great grandfather's firearms and had a question about the date on one .38 special number 3224## Any and all info would be great, thanks. |

laytonj1...I'm totally confused now because my grandmother died in 1979 and she had it for a few years before she died. It used to drive her brother (my great uncle) nuts because he had 50 some odd guns and couldnt shoot as perfectly as she could with that one guns....she was a perfect shot. All of that set aside....how can it be that it was made in 1982 if she had it for atleast 5 years before that?

However, memories do fade... You can reverify the date by calling S&W's customer service. Jim Last edited by laytonj1; May 30, 2011 at 07:57 PM. Reason: a little more info |

.38 special number 3224##
>I need a little more info. Does it hold 5 rds. or 6, and I assume you took the >serial number from the underside of the frames grip butt and include any letter >prefixes (such as C, D or K) if any. Off the grip butt and the number was on the cylinder/chamber which holds six. No letters just that number. |
