I just bought a M38-2, its firing pin is on the hammer and its serial number is #J989801. Some have replied my revolver was made sometime in the early 80's. Now these are S&W grips but are they the original grips?
Doing a few searches of S&W J frame pachmayr grips, I have yet to find these exact one with the S&W logo down towards the bottom of the grip and I haven't found any photo's of J frames with these grips.
Are these the factory grips my J frame came with? Did any 1980's models come with factory pachmayr grips?
Thank you
