Thanks in advance!

P.S. BENBOGA: Welcome to the Forum. Can never have enough new members!
Open the cylinder and on the frame above the yoke hinge the model number is stamped, the 'M' should be above the model number. This particular issue involved primers flowing into the firing pin hole under hot loads and locking the pistol up. Some people blamed soft primers. Not all guns need the modification, but some percentage does. I haven't bothered as mine as never caused trouble.
