LWCmdr45, I sold this Victory back in Jan 1987. So no further info is available. I had a 3x5 card record on this Victory and I kept it. I have a nice Sony CyberShot digital camera, but I have not the faintest idea of how to transfer a photo from the camera's memory stick to my hard drive or...

ordnanceguy, Here is another Victory serial number for your database. V310446. All matching numbers and in original as issue condition. Top strap stamped U.S. Property and it had the little anchor stamping by the rear sight. Inspector stamped G.H.D. Roadster

ordnanceguy, Many thanks for the timely and very informative reply. The previous owner of this revolver thought that it was just another garden variety Victory which is why he traded it to me for an old Anschutz .22lr rifle. He will have a fit when I show him your data that it might have been...

opoefc, It sounds like you have quite an interesting collection of Victory Models. I should be so lucky. Way back in 1966, I was in the US Army and doing the standard one year tour in Vietnam. Got a new man in my hootch who had came straight from the states. He had brought with him his...

ordnanceguy, The SN is V495404. Roadster

The serial number is V4954XX. The lanyard ring base is in between the V and 4954XX. The cylinder has the number stanped on it with V about two chambers away from it. The other two Victory's I had were marked US Property and had a tiny anchor stamped next to the rear sight which would indicate...

When the SuperVel company was producing ammo circa 1965 to 1975, there was no such thing as +P back then. SuperVel went out of business before the organization SAAMI aka Sporting Arms and Ammunition Makers Institute became the official watchdogs of the arms/ammo business in this country. The...

Today I picked up a Victory Model that isn't like the other Victorys that I have owned in the past. This piece is a standard configuration four inch .38 Spl model with the parkerized finish and the plain smooth walnut grips. It has the lanyard ring and all numbers match including the grips...

BM1, Here is the data that you requested. 1. Hornady 115 gr XTP/8.4 grs WAP/1358 fps 2. Hornady 124 gr XTP/8.0 grs WAP/1303 fps 3. Hornady 124 gr FMJ/8.0 grs WAP/1290 fps 4. Remington 147 gr FMJ/6.9 grs WAP/1110 fps These velocities were taken at ten feet from the muzzle with my 4.25 inch...

I bought one of the Performance Center Model 3566 Double Actions back in 1993. Bought 500 rounds of the Federal 147 gr FMJ Match Load and 100 rounds of Corbon 124 gr Bonded Hollow Point (Speer Gold Dot) ammo for a carry load. I worked up handloads using the Federal fired cases and WAP powder...

The correct groove diameter of the Model 547 9mm revolver is .355 inch. The bore diameter is .347 inch. Roadster

My 1961 made Model 53 has the optional .22 rimfire cylinder and it is serial numbered to the gun. AFAIK, these Model 53 cylinders are not interchangeable with other 53's. Roadster

Grinder, The beavertail on the PC M3566 is bigger than the beavertail on the M6906. So I trimmed away the neoprene with an X-Acto knife to get a proper fit. Roadster

I bought a NIB PC Model 3566 back in 1994. It is one of the 6900 frame based DA/SA models with the 4.25 inch barrel. Mine is a Stocking Dealer verison and has the serial number SD000020 which I assume means that it is number twenty of however many that were produced. Mine came with two .356...
