Model 19-3 Lookup
Hey I recently traded for a nickel plated S & W .357 Model 19-3 the serial number is 2K14***. I was wondering what year this gun was produced.
The grips are worn which is understandable because it was supposedly the duty gun of a buddy's dad or granddad. Where could I find replacement or have them reconditioned? |

Gunbroker and Ebay are best for finding replacements. There are folks on the S&W forum who could refinish your grips. http://smith-wessonforum.com/ If you register and post the question for refinishing your grips they'll help you. Jim |

special order #7267, serial # CCF32**. The special order number means it was packaged on the 267th day of 1997, which agrees with the serial number date. Jim...Thanks so much for you assistance. |

+P is not recommended for the aluminum frame guns. It won't blow it up but it will accelerate wear. Quote:

Serial numbers ran from K136691 to K175637. It's a K-38 Combat Masterpiece which became the model 15 when S&W began assigning model numbers in 1957. Jim |

Its the old style where the barrel and cylinder tip forward. I believe it's 32 s&w .To be honest with you it doesn't say at all what caliber it is? All it has on top of the barrel is a bunch of patent dates?

If it has a concealed hammer (with grip safety) then it's a 32 Safety Hammerless 2nd Model. Serial numbers ran from 91418 in 1902 to 170000 in 1909. Either way, value is not high. Runs about $400 to $500 in excellent condition. Jim |

S&W 38 SPECIAL CTG questions...
Hello everyone. I just joined this site. My grandfather left me a gun and I don't know how to tell much about them. Looked for a model # but there isn't one on this gun anywhere. On the barrel of the gun it has "38 S.&W. SPECIAL CTG.". Inside the cylinder on the frame it has "39979", "D", the number "8", and the number "9". On the butt of the gun it has "C 420xxx". Can anyone help me date this one? Will it shoot +P? What would the value of this gun be in excellent condition? Thanks in advance for the help.

If it's not a 38 then that leaves 32. Assuming that is what it is then it would be a 32 Hand Ejector 3rd Model. Serial numbers ran from 263001 in 1917 to 536684 in 1942. Heat treating started at serial number 321000 in 1920 so yours predates that. Quote:
