    2" 15-3 With Serrated Trigger

    Here's the rogue's gallery of K frames; [URL=http://s320.photobucket.com/user/jchannum/media/016_zps619570c3.jpg.html] The K22 is upper right, the Model 14 is wearing a set of grips I had kicking around for a while. The hand ejector is in 32-20. The stamping inside the yoke of the 2" is an ID...

    2" 15-3 With Serrated Trigger

    Thanks for the response. I have re-reread the SCSW, and it is not really clear if the reference is to non-dash Model 15's or even pre Model 15's. The 2" satisfies my inner Junior G-Man and will join my 14-3 and 4" 15-3 as well as the K22 I have owned for 60 years now.

    2" 15-3 With Serrated Trigger

    Newbie from Ohio

    I have been lurking here off and on for a while. Joined today for some answers on value of a Safety Hammerless. I am an accumulator, not a collector with an interest in the guns I grew up with in the 50's. I still have the K22 I got for Christmas in 1955 which cemented my preference for Smith &...

    First Model Safety Hammerless Value

    New guy here with some questions on value of a first model 38 caliber Safety Hammerless. I recently acquired this gun, and it is fairly typical of these guns with about 40% nickel plating remaining, the rest brown patina with no heavy pitting. It is tight and functions properly, rifling is...
