The OP stated, "Let's park those EDC revolvers and get serious"............ Well, that is the problem I had when reading his post. It is totally obvious that he could not be "serious" which the blatant flaws in his post. If it was based on sound logic and reasoning, then maybe I would consider...

Yes, it is actually 89K0229. Thank you for that good catch, I rechecked it and you were correct.

I was wondering if anybody could supply me with any information on a Model 67-1 revolver. The serial number is 89K0229. Thank you for whatever you can provide like the year it was made, etc.

Thank you very much.

I was wondering the year of manufacture for a model 649, .38 special, with the serial number: ANR39xx Thanks for any info someone can provide.

I carry any of these three loads in my airweight snubs. They may not have the best expansion, but they have good penetration. I really like the wadcutters for my primary load, and then use either the 125gr or 158 gr Hornady's in a speed strip or speed loader. (Wadcutters are difficult to reload...

Thank you very much. Unfortunately, there was no box with it.

I am interested if anybody can give me a date of manufacture for a S&W model 649 revolver with the serial number AYP1602. Thanks for any help you can offer me. P.S. - If I posted this in the wrong place, please accept my apology.

Thank you to everybody for your assistance, and for the information.

I have a S&W model 60 revolver with the following serial number: R200XXX Can anybody tell me when it was made? Also, what generation of Chief's Special is it? Thanks in advance for any information.

Lots of great advice from the many posters. Get whatever model you like and you can shoot well. But, please make sure you get a model without an internal lock if you are going to carry it for self-defense. That is the only suggestion I am making to you.

That was NOT a "whine" about trigger locks, I was stating a pertinent fact to the OP to consider if buying a new 686/686 Plus. I also stated that is why I purchased a GP100 last year, and then described it with mods in comparison to my 686 Plus. If we can't consider all of the features of a...

I have shot both GP100s and 686/686Plus models a ton over the years. I also own both. I have to say that I truly love both models very much. But, I would add this observation: A 686 (or 686 Plus - 7 shot version) is probably going to have a better trigger from the factory over a factory GP100...

Perfectly said.
