Here is my 18-2 that i picked up about 10 years ago. Don't have it lettered but the serial number is real close to Retired W4's. Mine is K 5418xx.
It's a great shooter and will stay with me until the very end.

I just got the 3rd edition from Amazon.com in September.
Got the NEW one and it's already starting to look like a USED
one! Great info between those covers!
Been into shooting/reloading since the early 60's and handguns since around '83.
Current S&W's in the stable: pre M10, M36, M18-2, M15-3, M29-3, M586-1, M41.
Happy shootin' to all !
