Model 1902 M&P in 38spl HELP
In post number 67 model3sw asks:
"Isn't 468688 a exceptionally high serial number for a round butt M&P ?"
How about let's have a Forum photographic survey of round butt variants of the K-Frame .38 Special revolver from its introduction to the present? This could include all .38 Special Military & Police revolvers as well as all Model 10 revolvers made since 1899.
I've thought before of how the round butt variants through the years could be a rewarding collecting tangent within the K-Frame revolver itself. I'm aware that round butt K-Frames were offered consistently through the model's history but were not always very popular at times. At this point if a person wants a fixed sight .38 Special K-Frame, the round butt is all that is available in the current catalog as far as I know.
I'm wondering if the Forum can exhibit photos of round butt K-Frame .38 Special revolvers from each decade of K-Frame existence. Which decade will be found to have the fewest numbers of round butt K-Frame revolvers featured by Forum members?
Let's open this thread to any and all fixed sight K-Frame Military & Police or Model 10 round butt revolver. Aw ... let's go ahead and include any round butt K-Frame in .32-20, but leave out Magnum K-Frames or rim fire K-Frames.
My hand is permanently molded to fit a square butt K-Frame revolver yet I have always liked the notion of the round butt K-Frame. I find that they handle really well. I don't have that many round butt K-Frames on hand.
No. 50587 likely from 1904
No. 296148 likely from 1919
No. BSW6431 Purchased new in early January of 1996. Was special ordered by my gun shop after I had no luck finding a new one. I wonder how near the end of 2-inch Model 10 production is this revolver?
