    If I have done this correctly I have attached a photo of Model 29 Serial number N7032## in 44 Magnum which has had the rear part of the trigger guard removed. I know that some guns have had the front part of the trigger guard removed to improve access to the trigger but I am unable to fathom...

    Is my M & P a Target Model?

    The serial number is 700129 and the calibre is .38 S & W. There is a hole in the grip frame where a lanyard ring has been removed.I am now inclined to think it was one of the ones sent to Britain during the war that has been modified

    I have recently acquired an engraved Model 19 made in 1980 which came with the original box. The label on the box seems to indicate that the engraving is level C coverage but the gun has more than the 25% coverage I would have expected if this were the case. The box does have addition markings...
