I've never dealt with them, but I have seen Jack First Gun Parts mentioned frequently here.

Here is a link to their website - <<<Jack First>>>

I’d ask the question in the S&W Smithing subforum here. I betcha there are a bunch of knowledgable guys there.

Yikes! Just saw the post above. Well, that ought to keep the OP busy for a while!

I'm constantly looking for Patrige Blades for older N frames. I
hate red ramps. I see more Red Ramps than Patridge. A lot of
outfits have them listed but they are marked out of stock.

If I don't find it on ebay I'll go to Jack First. I needed a slide stop for my 52-2 and found a new one there. Very expensive but it works. I also needed a hand torsion spring for an older Smith and the ones I got from Numrich and S&W were too short. The lady at Jack First went through a box of springs and found two long ones for me. She said she hadn't realized there were different lengths. I was very pleased with the service.

Back in 2016, I had to replace the target hammer on my Model 19 no dash. Since Smith no longer makes these old parts, I was in a bit of a quagmire. Most of the trusted gun parts sits were out of stock.

I turned to Gunbroker and eBay. I was able to find a matching combat hammer and trigger from a Model 13 that dropped right into my Model 19 on eBay. I was a little suprised to purchase gun parts on eBay, but I have to say they often do have some hard to find parts.

I always check eBay first.

Literally millions of people listing stuff there, and most are just amateurs so you are not paying a professional mark-up.

It's surprising what you can find there and all sales are guaranteed.
