Inherited S&W .38 Special CTG
I inherited a S&W .38 Special CTG and am looking for info on it. The serial number stamped on the butt, barrel bottom and cylinder is C 108x. I'd like to know approximately when it was manufactured and if it is a center fire or rim fire. I have a box of Remington 38 Special 130 grain ammo but I'm not sure if it's the right ammo for this gun. I want to keep it in my night stand like Dad did.
Thanks! |

The Remington 130 gr. ammo you mention is correct for the gun, but is not necessarily the best ammunition for self-defense purposes. There are a number of .38 Special loadings on the market that are designed for that, and would be a better choice. Your local gun shop would be a good source of more information on that. Based on your questions, I would assume that you're not very familiar with guns and so I would encourage you to obtain some instruction, or at the very least spend some time at the range with the revolver, before you depend on it for self-defense.

Hello all, I just recently inherited a Model 36 .38special chiefs special, I don't thinks it's ever been out of its box much less shot. It has the serial number 343402 stamped on the butt and I was hoping if someone could help me out on the manufactur date. Also I was hoping you could tell me if the +p ammunition is okay to be shot through seeing as how I know little to nothing about guns, thank you.

Thanks Flyfish for the quick response. Anybody know the best way to remove light pitting from the cylinder of the 28-2. I heard of Flitz and real fine steel wool. Thanks, Jeff

Older .38 special, need help identifying year of production
Hello everyone,
I have a S&W .38 special that I inherited from my father. I remember that he purchased this pistol from a neighbor back in the 1970s for only $50 (probably a lot at the time). I don't really know anything about its history and there's very little information stamped on the pistol itself. Can anyone help me identify some information about it, such as a model number (if one exists) and year of production? It's in very nice condition, 4 inch barrel, 6-shot, original wood grips. Here's the information stamped on it: Top of barrel: Smith & Wesson Springfield Mass USA Patented Feb.6.06 Sept.14.09 Dec.29.14 Bottom of Barrel: V 306700 Left Side: Smith & Wesson (side of barrel) Right Side: Smith & Wesson logo (on frame, behind chamber) Made in USA (on frame, below chamber) 38 S.&W. Special CTG (on barrel) Inside of Frame and Crane (visible when chamber opened) 56929 Thanks for any help, I appreciate it! |

It's a 38 Military & Police. Assuming matching serial numbers, V306700 makes it a "Victory" model made during WWII for the Military. The V prefix ran from 1942 to 1945. Jim |

Model 10, no serial #'s on the barrel or receiver, there is one on the cylinder though.
"469XXX" Thing is been somewhat mistreated, no S&W logo on the grips, outer barrel is pitted, bore is in fairly good condition. Can anyone tell me the year? |

There should be a matching SN on the underside of the frame grip butt, depending on the grips on it you may have to take them off to see it. Quote:

My model 10 has a SN prefix of AFW I was told it may have been from the early eighties.
Any help would be appreciated |

Chief Model 36 DOM
Today I bought a sweet Nickled Chief! Bone stock and tight.
The serial number seems pretty low can anyone please shed some light on the year of manufacture? The S/N is ABW7XXX . I tried clicking on a couple of the sites mentioned here but they wouldn't let me post or let me in... Thanks, ZVP |
