Hey I was wondering something guys... I am new to revolvers and from what I have read and picked up is that J frames are small framed, K frames are medium frames, L frames are medium almost large frames better suited for magnum ammunition, then N frames that are large frames, and the X frame which is for like model 500. Is this all correct?
Also I have picked up that any 3 digit model number that begins with a 3 is an alloy, beginning with a 5 it is carbon steel, and beginning with a 6 it is stainless correct?
One more thing can someone explain to me why the models are called what they are. I get this partially but need it clarified. I know the thing as stated above but what are the other digits for? Does this help place them in their frame type.
Can't wait for these answers! Thanks in advance!
