Any heads-up I should know about this gun? I'm looking to buy and have found a pretty good price in town, but I've also found a pretty good deal on on a FNP-45. I'm leaning towards the S&W for some of the features and 'cause it's an American company, but the FNH has a hi-cap mag and some similar...

BillCa - Thanks for all the great info. This forum has been awesome and saved me a lot of time finding info on this gun. I've already shot this gun and it fires great. I've cleaned it, except taking off the grips which will happen soon, and it looks great. Also thanks for the help identifying...

Yeah, that's the plan with my dad. I'll be seeing him soon, so hopefully the pics will happen sooner than later. And to blairgarber, the NRA membership is on the way.

Thanks for the quick reply. What's the easiest way to post an image?

O.K. I looked and the serial is K541878 and the model is 19-2. I think it was from when my grandpa was a police officer. I'm just curious when it was manufactured and any model specific info I should know about. Thanks for all the help.

I recently inherited a S&W 357 Mag revolver from my grandfather, but don't know anything about it including model or history. Any help on where to find any info about it would be great. Thanks.
