But shooting occasional +p's in it is not going to hurt it either as your 640 is all steel. If all you shoot is a lot of +p's then it might accelerate wear a little. Jim |

Serial Number info
I have an opportunity to purchase a S&W .38 that the seller claims was manufactured in the 40's. Ser. # is 717XX. Just trying to confirm before I invest. Thanks.

Does it hold 5 or 6 rounds? What is the exact chambering stamped on the side of the barrel, ie- .38 S&W or .38 S&W Spl.? Did the number you gave come from a number stamped on the inside cutout for the yoke assembly(which would be an assembly number) or was it taken from the underside of the grip frame (which would be the SN) or in the case of a Regulation Police model, the SN would be located on the forward portion of the grip frame.

Serial Number info Pt 2
Hi Jim,
I took the number off of the frame on the butt of the weapon. It is a 5-shot .38 Special. |

I just picked up a nice 29-2, N816xxx. I think it would be like 1980 or 1981. Thanks!

"Serial AHY5(6?)XXX
Since you have the original box, on the end label there should be a 4 digit number under the heading "spec ord". The first number is the year in 1980 and the other 3 are the julian date. Example: 5123 would be the 123rd day of 1985. Otherwise AHY is around 1985." Thanks, Jim! Weird thing is the box has no label on it whatsoever. I was surprised to see that! |

Can anyone help me identify this S&W pre model 10? Numbers on bottom of grip are 46409 with no letters. Can't find any other numbers. It's not letting me upload pictures. It's a 6 shot. Fixed sights. Barrel says 38 S. & W. SPECIAL. Under that it says U.S. Service CTG'S. Also, is it p+ rated?

Do not use +P in it. It was made before S&W began heat treating. Jim |
