I love K frame Smiths, and this old 18-3 I inherited from my late father is one of my favorite handguns! It shoots very well, has a fantastic trigger, and looks good. Other than a turn ring and a tiny spot near the muzzle that I touched up, bluing is otherwise perfect.
About 12-13 years ago, I replaced the original stocks with these nice looking Ahrends cocobolo boot style stocks.
The blade on the original rear sight was messed up, so I replaced the whole assembly with a Bowen "Rough Country" rear sight, and I love it!
My serial number is 5K59XXX. I've looked online to see if I can find the mfg date from that but no joy. Anyone know when it was made?
