If I'm reading the serial number on yours correctly, it starts with an 8. It that case, these originally shipped on a postwar M&P revolver. That is the only possibility for a number this high. Could you please type in the actual serial number, in case I'm not reading it correctly? I would like to add these to my postwar M&P database.

Thanks.
