5 screw = 4 screws on the side plate and 1 on the upper front of the trigger guard. K-22's are very desirable so unless the corrosion is pretty bad it would still be worth at least $400. Quote:

Would someone be so kind as to check this one for me, and/or possibly direct me to where I might find more information on it? I've just inherited several older revolvers and I'll freely admit myself to be totally clueless as to what I actually have.

SN's ran from 1 in 1877 to 108255 in 1891. Caliber is .38 S&W, not to be confused with .38 Special. Jim |

Thanks from me too, Laytonj1!

I'm not planning to sell any of these guns since they've been passed down through the family for several generations, but would you think it would be worth my while to get a research letter from S&W on this particular gun or was it a common-as-dirt piece that I shouldn't go further on than basic info? Also, can you give me any remote idea what its value might be for insurance purposes? It appears to have been well used but is, at least to my totally untrained and ignorant eyes, in pretty decent condition for a gun of its age. |

LaniW,
Since we already know the approximate date of manufacture the only other info the letter will get you is the date it was shipped, who it was shipped to and it's original configuration. Neat to have but is it worth $50 to you? As for value, condition is everything. As of 2006, values ranged from ~$250 in good to $750 in "As New". Jim |

Thanks, Jim. I'll have to give that some thought; since it's a family gun it really might be worth having that info even at the cost of $50. And thanks very much for the valuation estimates!

S&W 586.. 6 inch barrel
I just got a S&W 586.. 6 inch barrel. It was my grandfathers, who past away. He was a Louisiana State Trooper. Just trying to find out the date it was made, if i needed to send it in for the recall or whatever. It says MOD 586. AAN-****.. Then right next to the six round chamber it says 26928 with C9 stamped above it. Its looks as if it was never fired. He had other service pistols. This is my first revolver. I have all Semi autos. Thanks

Good Evening All, can someone please help with my Model 19-5, serial AJF5XXX, and should it be in a one piece hinged box rather than the two piece slip top. Thanks as always for this great service!

A "M" stamped above the model number indicates the gun was sent back for the recall. Basically, some early L frames could have a problem with certain primers (Federal I believe) flowing back into the firing pin bushing and tying up the cylinder. The fix was to install a shorter firing pin and new smaller diameter bushing. If you are not having any problems then you don't need to send it back. Quote:
The 2 piece boxes ended ~1985 so yours "should" have come in the 1 piece box, which they started phasing in ~1983. Jim |

The "C" series of SNs was used for the Models 10, 11, 12, 45, and Aircrewman and their pre-model number equivalents (which yours would be). Of those possibilities, the 11 and 45 were not chambered in .38 Special, so that leaves the pre-10, pre-12, and Aircrewman. It's most likely a pre-10, which was known as the .38 Military & Police at that time. The other two possibilities had alloy frames, which you can check with a magnet, and the Aircrewman had additional markings identifying it as such. |

Mod 57
Thank you,
Your response is very appreciated. This piece that I have is in extremely good condition. Kind of like finding a lost treasure! I have not owned it long. That's the challenge of this sour economy. Some people that have busted theiir tails most of their life are now out of work and have to part with many of their prized posessions. Such was the case ofthe fellow I purchased it from. Thanks again!!!! |

need help identifying
I have an S&W that I need help identifying..I'm pretty new to firearms in general, but fascinated by the collecting aspect... anyway.. I have a S&W .38 special, 4" barrel, under cylinder it's stamped "2 - 570", and on cylinder "arm" itself stamped "570", no model markings of any kind, original grips, round butt, serial number C 209258. On the barrel it says ".38 S&W special ctg". If anyone could help identify this and give me some idea of it's value I would appreciate it thanks!

It is a .38 Military and Police postwar (pre model 10). S&W made a bazillion of them so prices range from a couple hundred (beat-up) to $500 or so like new. Jim |

The Standard Catalog of Smith & Wesson isn't very complete when it comes to later date semi autos. That said, the 5906 was made from 1989 to 1999. S&W started using the "V" prefix serial numbers on them starting 1994.
Thank you very much. |
