Looks like the gun angel definitely gave me bad intel; the serial number points to 1955 for your K-38. That's a little late for the use of non-relieved target stocks, but almost anything is possible in the land of S&W. The letter will be informative.

The serial number on your M&P Target points to late 1926/early 1927 based on known shipping dates for guns with nearby serial numbers.
