Hey
Big G -
My bad bud, I misread your original question!
In
a search for the correct answer; well, I have one example
right here in my hand's. You see, I have my dads 2" S&W
model 30 which is a .32 S&W Long caliber "Hand Ejector"
model. Guess what? Its a
30-1 bought NIB back in
1971.
Somewhere I read that when S&W issues a factory recall,
like with the very early model 686's, they simply stamp the
letter "m" beside or over the model number; to show that
the weapon has been modified to include the factory type
upgrade. My personal 686 is a -5 model, so I can't really
confirm that logic?
