Budget_patriot,
S811120 - S999999 = 1945 - 1948, so likely 1948 for your sn of S990XXX. All I"ll say is it's not rated for +P and because of it's age why push it. Quote:

Can anyone tell me what this is? I inherited it from my grandpa, it's a .22. It is in just about perfect condition.
It has matching serial numbers of 531-xxx. Also, what might the value be, I have no intentions of selling it, just wondering. |

On pg 118 of the catalog, I see a pic that looks exactly like yours. They are calling this gun a .22 Kit Gun (prewar). Kit Gun meaning a small gun marketed to easily take with you on fishing or camping trips. They have an insert pic of your front sight andf they call it a U.S.R.A. pocket revolver front sight (whatever that means). Value ranges from $200, $400, $900, $1500, $2650, $3500 (poor, fair, good, very good, exec, as new in box). I would definately contact S&W for a factory letter. Perhaps send them good sized photos including where the serial# in on the gun. |

good for +p ammo
Hey guys I just got my first S&W and was wondering if it was ok to shoot +p ammo through it. It is a 64-5 with a serial number of cbp91XX. Also don't know what year it was made.
Thanks, Brent |

S&W's stance is that steel K frames made after 1958 are okay to use +P but with the caveat that it can accelerate wear. Jim |

Smith & Wesson .38 Special cta
I am doing some reseach for a friend and her father has a Smith and Wesson .38 special c.t.a Serial #568xxx, also he was wondering the gun has 3 notches in the gun. He heard that it meant that was the number of men he killed. Is this true? Any information will help. Thanks

.38 S&W CTG
What gun would a serial number of 221757 be? It's a five-shot break action revolver with a squeeze safety. A relative gave it to me, and I'd like to find the history out.
Thanks. |

Please check again, my book does not show an "ADA" prefix.
