That's possible. SCSW lists following for Early J Frame Serial Range: Approx mfg dates 1950 - 1 1952 - 7369-21342 1953 - 28916 1955 - 55050-75000 1957 - 117770-125000 1962 - 295000 1969 - 786544

Thank you for the info and the typo correction. It makes sense now.

New Company No Better I have tried calling Jimmy (old Lawman Leather in Las Vegas) and Jerry (in Texas). Left messages and gotten (surprise, surprise) no responses. Ordered my DH holster from Jerry back in Nov 2009 (I guess he really wasn't in charge, just helping?). Now, no one answers...

I just picked up a really nice old 3", SB, pinned barrel, mdl 36 (no-dash) with box, cleaning rod, mop, and brush. Serial number is 8J8XXX (on the butt and box). I have the Standard Catalog of S&W 3rd ed by Supica and Nahas but the ser num doesn't seem to fit any pattern in the appendix giving...

It's Been 5 Weeks, Did you Get it? Well, we're waiting for pictures of the holster. Did it arrive as promised? When you call and speak with Jimmy again, let us know what his excuses are this time. If you check back through the thread, you'll find a "stock" listing of about 12 they recycle.

More Nothing From Them I make a regular call, about every 2 months, have been for the past two years. It's a waste of calories. I have no doubt I have been defrauded out of nearly $300. It was an expensive lesson, that I didn't do my "do diligence" before I placed the order. I suspect their...

34-36 Weeks? In 5 weeks send us pictures. I've been waiting since Nov 2009! I've spoken with Jerry and Jimmy several times over the past year and half, after my original delivery date passed. Still don't have my holster. My guess is that in about 5 weeks, when your holster doesn't arrive...

Hope You Get One if You Order it. They may be filling "new" orders, BUT I ordered mine nearly two years ago. Many phone calls since the time it was supposed to be delivered. Nothing but excuses. Other threads have extensive listing of the recycled excuses. I guess they're hoping some of us...

Nearly 2 Years and Nothing I'm glad someone gets fast service. Ordered mine almost two years ago and all I have is squat. I've heard every excuse except "It's Bush's fault." That one will probably be next.

Ordered my holster in November 2009. Promised delivery in April 2010. Still nothing. I call about every 2 months. Always more excuses and a 4-6 week promise. Does that make me the oldest order outstanding?

2 More Months of Waiting I called their factory number again (702) 588-9583 and only got the answering machine. Its been 2 months since I faxed back to them a copy of the order receipt I had received back in Nov 2009. I'll try again tomorrow night.

Due Diligence I wish I had done my homework (due diligence) before I placed my order. I would have found out the BBB "F" rating, the history of non-delivery of products, and the consistent history of recycled excuses. I even faxed the email order confirmation back to them last month and when...

That might be optimistic. I ordered mine in November 2009 with a promised delivery of April 2010 and now its February 2011. I'm hopeful I might get mine by my birthday (July) or maybe it will be a Christmas present to myself.

The Excuse List is Growing FYI, the SHOT show was in Las Vegas this year (18-21 Jan). The show hours were 8:30a.m. - 5:30p.m. One of the times I talked with Jerry (when he gave me their "operations" phone number), he told me to call after 8:30p.m., because that was when they did their factory...

Bianchi X-15 The new X-15 I received was also very stiff and tight, but a little forcible spreading wide by hand has remedied the problem. Works better and still holds very well.
