Not a carry gun, but I have a blued Taurus 606 with a ported 2" barrel. Very fun to shoot.
By the way, the info comfirming what I've said is found on pages 109 & 110 of the Standard Catalogue of S&W 2nd Edition.
This is a 1950 model and being the improved I frame it is a little lighter than the later model 36-J-frame. I purchased this from an original owner's Widow.The revolver came with it's original box, cleaning rid, owners manuel, and documents along with an original a bill of sale from I purchased this from an original owner's Widow.The revolver came with it's original box, cleaning rid, owners manuel, and documents along with an original a bill of sale from September 1950 for a price of $52.00 tax included. for a price of $52.00 tax included.
So, you are saying that they had left over parts from a gun that hadn't come out yet?
I'm confused.
Short frame. Longer frame did not exist yet in 1950.
I have a seen Replacement Glock 22's, that WAS a 1st Gen. and was found to have a Cracked Frames, but was replaced at the factory with the Same exact serial number. So if you did a Serial number search, it will show it to be a 1st gen. gun. But it is NOT! It was replaced with a 3rd Gen. Gun
I Contacted Roy Jinks and he supplied me with MY information above, adding it was a transition gun. I assume it could be a mixture of parts that was used up in making this revolver and I did ask why it was Not a 4 screw revolver, as the serial number on it points at a 1950 vintage,Yet it has some features of later issued models and his reply was that this may have been a replacement revolver issued to the customer from an earlier purchased revolver with serious issues. He went on to say, this was done at times and the original trouble some one would have been destroyed and this could be it's replacement. The sales reciept does Not have the serial number on it, simply a model number and price, from a local hardware company.
NOW this thread has turned into a K-frame Thread when it was intended to be a-J-steel frame thread by the original Poster
Jeez, the original poster asked about steel snubbies, he made no mention of the SIZE of said snubgun.
You prolly ought to calm down hammerdown, there has been no malicious intent here from what I can see.
