I THOUGHT I was done buying S&Ws (I bought 6 in the last year) but a nice M&P .38 with a 4" barrel just wouldn't stop calling my name today.

Owner claims it is a 1949, it has a pretty good finish with some very light pitting and just a faint turn line with no holster wear (which I will remedy over the next season of IDPA).

NOW I am done...though I do need a P&Red J frame to round out my collection...

Sounds nice! How about some pictures? Maybe she could get a family pic with all of this year's Smith purchases...

It will have to be a 22 since 32s and 38s were never recessed.

I'll get pics in a few weeks when I get a free day to pic it up and they are open. Family pictures are forthcoming.

The early J frames where never recessed? ok, I need a pinned .38 J frame to round out my collection then. lol.

Only .22s and Magnum revolvers were recessed, in any frame.

Here is a pic. All number matching including the stocks. I swapped out the stocks for Alimont bonded ivory (it is kind of my trademark, almost all my S&W revolvers have Alimont ivorys, plus I want to protect these stocks as they are honestly in 97%+ condition.) Looking at the recoil shield you would be hard pressed to think it was ever fired but I know it has, plus the very light freckling above the cylinder release and lack of box puts it firmly in the shooter category.

SN is C 87xxx

1949 sounds about right for the ship year. Please let us know how it shoots.

It is supposed to be over 105 degrees this weekend, lets just say I will not be hitting the outdoor range this weekend.

If I don't get out during the week next week I will probably shoot it for the first time at IDPA.
