bobbed hammers just real happy to have something to offer to the room of all knowledge smith & wesson. i have #2386xx and it has the bobbed hammer as well. i've seen a few offered online with this modification and posted the question here as well. seems likely that either the pinching or...

bobbed hammer my 22/32 hft #238639 has the same hammer modification. while i was shopping for it i saw several others like it. i posted a question here quite some time ago if anyone knew if this was a fad thing or whether the hammer might be hanging up on the flour sack when they went to "yank...

my 1917 era 22/32 has a groove cut in the frame to allow for some black powder residue buildup ( a manufacturer holdover as it was described on this forum). it may not be flame cutting at all. i use standard velocity or less.

i was visiting an aunt last week and thought to get a serial # off a k-22 she has. i told her i could ask here about age & whether its a sought after variation. looks early K3034X. nice gun , it has high back? magnas, blue mostly there but with some odd pits that feel like grains on sand.

thanks steve

ah, thank you,

yep thats it and i misspoke in my first thead about a pierce sight (i meant paine)the paine sight on my bekeart has concave radius fore & aft of the bead where this one has convex radius. maybe two types of paine sight? gee i guess it wasn't a stupid question huh?

bill i searched the site and was aware of those two. i am unable to cut & paste a picture of mike prewers k-32. the post "preveiw of 1st. k-32" by mike shows the sight clearly. thanks randy

iv'e tried to keep quiet & not stand to close to the fire while the big dogs eat but i gots to know. probably best to address this to mike prewer because he has posted pics of several. the front sight on the 1st. k-32 as well as others, round like an m&p but with a small bead. what is it...

perhaps it was there so the owner could always identify his gun while not defacing it too badly? picture it...... an elderly man & wife go to the station to see if they can identify property after a break in. the old man speaks up right off "HEY, THATS RRRRR'S "

ac, just shot mine (238xxx) today after calling it a day turkey hunting. mine has the pierce sights also and they are just the thing for fine work in the field.

yeah ray thats probably the deal here too but i saw it in his hand and bells went off. if it is a s&w it won't mean much to me, just fun. it would probably end up back with a gun of grandpas. though not sure how much he likes his brother in law. i emailed him a link to the photos & haven't heard...

ok, i found the thread. could someone identify the second driver from the right?

no joy, anyone?

thanks
