Thank you all for your replies. I have dried fired the gun w/snap caps a decent amount in the past week and it's still working fine. I'm just going to leave it alone (if it ain't broke, don't fix it, am I right haha?) And next time I open it up, I will not run action without side plate on...

I tried the side plate with no internals and it fit. I put it back together before posting and got the slide plate back on with some light taps from a mallet. The bend seems to be not so much to not allow side plate to go on, but it's still visually slightly bent. Gun try fires/functions fine...

I've got a no dash Model 36 that I've had for a few years now. Its definitely used but shoots well. While taking it off to clean up the insides (I've done this a few times previously when I first got it/repair spring) I noticed the frame pin that holds the rebound spring in place was slightly...

Where'd you get the screenshots of his Model 36?

UPDATE: S&W respond to my email today, which was nice because on the website it said it could take 3-5 days. They also said it was hard to see from my photo, but said that if what I showed them was a crack to send it right in. So I shall be printing the label they sent me and sending it out...

Thanks for the comparison pic GerSan69. No crack on either. I'm assuming that once I get a return email/call they'll send me a label

I think there maybe some confusion at what part of the photograph I'm referring to (which I apologize for the quality, my phone didn't want to focus when put closer to the gun). It's the small black line that starts from the bottom (in the photos perspective) of the hand window/cutout. If you...

Yes, I did that when I first discovered it is not a part of the hand.

I have a 638-3 airweight that has seen some use. After shooting today, I noticed a small hairline crack at the bottom of the window where the hand rests. I have emailed S&W (was on hold for 15 minutes, figure an email they can get to it when they get to it) about it to see what they think/see if...

This is good to know, thank you. I've looked up as many pictures of the Model 66-2 as I could, and saw the channel in then, but didn't know if the hammer nose can make contact. I've had a Model 66 no dash years ago but didn't recall this on that revolver.

I have a question regarding my newly acquired Model 66-2 regarding the hammer nose and a channel in the frame made as to facilitate clearing it. It seems there is wear in this channel. The hammer nose clears it, but if I tilt it all the way up in the hammer, then it will make contact with the...
