Built on the "N" frame, model 57's (41 Mag) were available in blue or nickle finish from 1964 till 2005. A fixed sight version (model 58) was offered for a short while also. The stainless steel version was offered from 1986 on as the model 657. S&W has recently reintroduced the 57 and 58 under their "Classic" series. Jim |

bigseth: 1984
A couple of other things that may be of interest: The Model 60 was Smith's first stainless revolver, introduced in 1965. The "no dash" was manufactured until 1988, when it was replaced by the 60-3, which had a new yoke retention design. What happened to the -1 and -2? They were limited production runs with special features, manufactured in 1972 and 1987, respectively. |

range rider13: J6117XX = 1977; J8863XX = 1981
MonsterB: late 2000 or early 2001 (nice gun to start with - everyone should have at least one 686) |

Model 49 Bodyguard
Looking at the info here, would it be correct in assuming my S&W model 49 serial number 9J9XXX would be around 1971-1972? Thanks for any help!

Just found this great site and looking for any help. My father passed and left me my grandfathers service revolver. From what I can gather it is .357 magnum. The barrel seems short and it has a 6 bullet capacity and the only numbers on it are S 1566XX. Any and all info would be great. My wife is insisting I get rid of it. Looks like a lock box is in my future.

Amish Hitman (love that screen name!): Your gun dates from 1956, just before S&W started assigning model numbers to their revolvers. It's either a .357 Magnum Model of 1950 (pre-Model 27) or a Highway Patrolman (pre-Model 28). The former will have a high-polish blue finish while the latter, the more utilitarian version of the same gun, will be more of a satin blue. There are other finish detail differences such as a lack of serrations on the barrel rib on the M28.
