    Correct thumbpiece for .38 Spl Hand Ejector ser. # 402xxx, when made?

    The threaded stud is present so I would assume that the thumbpiece and nut will fix me up with this gorgeous old revolver. This one is a real beauty for 89 to 90 years old........

    M-10/M&P revolvers are outdated

    1950s? Perhaps a 3.5" rocket launcher (Super Bazooka)...... I doubt that anything else handheld and shoulder fired would have had a chance......

    My New S&W 1066-Seeking Advice/Info

    The heavier recoil and mag springs are a good idea. I like to shoot these with real 10mm loads, not the "lite" ones. The heavy springs are especially good with true 10mm loads. The full powered loads are superior to .357 Magnum in comparable barrel lengths. We chronographed these back in the...

    I heard someone a while ago claim that S&W used "wrought iron???" for these guns?!?!? He also claimed that Iver Johnson used better metal?!?!?!??
