I still Wanna Know who the Guy is who has the only 942??

Gary, the guy that received the 942 was Wiley Clapp, the gunwriter, according to the S & W Standard Catalogs. I'd be curious to see it and wonder if he still has it. I'll bet it's a handfull; I had a 940 once and it kicked like a government mule to me. I prefered .357's out of a 640-1 to that and sold it. Didn't like the extraction issues either. But, like you, I love snubbies!

Some of these pictures make me envious. I've only got two snubbies, an M36 and M60 round butt, 1 7/8" barrels.
Damn, I love'm!

Well, here's my two cents worth, since I've learned to post pics here just yesterday.....do three inch Model 13's count as snubbies?

Did you polish those three model 60s yourself? They look as shiny as that model 36! What did you use? Flitz?

This probably doesn't count because it's not a Smith...

Yep, I love the little J frames. The older 60's generally look a bit dull by now, so I prefer to brighten them up by hand with a little Flitz or Simichrome.

Sip,
Even though it's not a Smith, I think your snubbie should still count since it's such a nice one!

My first revolver:
This is a brand new M&P 340, with only 80 rounds through it; 50 .38 specials and 30 .357 magnums. It's a pussy cat with the .38's and actually not as bad as I expected with the .357's. Great gun, and with a CHL on the way soon (I hope) I should have a good niche for it.

I only have four at the moment.
Here are my M36 and M34 from top to bottom.
Here is my M15-3 under a M10-5 4"
And my M65 3"
I will be picking up a 3" M36-1 next week and a 2" M10-5 two weeks later. The snubbie thing seems to be growing on me and I did not see it coming.

It is very insidious and pernicious. Just wait until you start getting really good shooting them, there will be no stopping it or you then...
but there are worse ailments and afflictions.

First Airweight
Hi all,
I picked up my first Mod 37-1 Airweigth snubbie last weekend at the
West Palm Beach Gun Show. I have owned a Mod 36 & 60 in the past and always regret selling them. So when I saw this little Airweight I had to have it.
The price was right and it's like new ( only a ding on the left grip ).
Can anyone help with date of manufacture, BDA70xx
Thanks, Dan

It's only 18, 19 would be crazy. Eight of them are 66's

Yes, that's part of it. And then 2-1/2 & 3" in the 66's, and different features (sights, etc.) in the 19's. Then of course there's the shooter and the safe queens. I think there was areason I chose the user name I did.

That serial number looks to be late 1988 or early 1989.
That's in great shape, still has the stickers on the frame.

Standard Catalog of Smith & Wesson (3rd Edition is latest).
You can also call S&W customer service at 800 331-0852 with your serial number and they can give you a ship date.

They can only give you exact dates on more recently manufactured guns with multiple letter prefixes. On older guns, the Std. Catalog will give you an approximate year. If you are an SWCA member, Roy Jinks can give you a month and year in short order. If you are willing to pay $50 for a factory letter and wait a month or so, an exact date and "to whom shipped" can be secured.
