I recall reading some years ago about S & W "Club Pistols", their out of sequence ( for their base model ) serial numbers, and, relative scarcity.

I never thought I would see or own one, but I did find and buy one and have it home now.

Will start a little thread for it tomorrow once it is daylight and I can snap some images.

What is the over view of these generally?

When did they begin? When did they end?

Who did they actually belong to at the time?

Has anyone compiled a registry of 'Survivors' ?

I think I recall that the "Club Pistols" were both M1902 and m1905 ( K Frame ) Target models, and also New Century Target models and also some early 2nd Model Hand ejector Target models.

Were other earlier or later Revolvers in on this also?

Thanks!
