New addition with question

Thanks. Quite nice. Big Larry

K22, how do we know your revolver is factory nickel? That little N on the grip frame does not denote a nickel gun, at least I do not think so. Mine has two letters there as well but neither are an N. I defer to your expertise. Thanks, Big Larry

As a collector of S&W's and Winchesters, they don't get much time outside. Dark in the safe. I used to do a lot of shooting until neuropathy overtook my hands. Now, I have to be very careful just to handle them. Big Larry

I checked and all my K frames pre war have the B including 3 M&P targets. I think my 38-44 HD also has a B. I have so many guns it may take me a while to check them. I wanted to check my 1917 1902 M&P but could not find it. Remember, this info is straight from the Drs. mouth. FWIW, the B is only on the bottom of the bbl. preceding the very small serial number. Look again. It may surprise you. Amazing.

Just checked my 2nd models and found the M1902 1917 revolver. Also checked my 3 Regulation Polices, and all my pre WW1 and after guns and they all have the B under the bbl. No B on my 1st Model M&P 38, and I could not see one on my Triple Lock. I could not see one on my 1947 2" M&P. They barely get a complete serial number on those. Big Larry

I didn't check my 40's guns. Maybe just up 1940? I will check my 1940 shipped 38-44 Outdoorsman.
I recently sold my 1940 M&P. I have 46, 47, and 48 M&P's. Big Larry
