4506-1 Serial Help

[P33v3]

So I rescued an abused and forgotten 4506-1 from a local Pawn Shop. Long story short, after cleaning her up and repairing her I decided to look up her serial number. I have both the 3rd and 4th editions of the S&W Supica Books (I contributed to the 4th) and cannot find the date range for this one. I thought most should be in the TXXNNNN range but this one has a serial of KJF7XXX. Any one have a date for it?

Other 3rd Gen KJF prefix pistols were 1999-2000.

Call/email S&W for a definitive answer.

For anyone with the book, could you tell me the date range for a 4506-1 VAT prefix?

The "Book" lists observed dates for multiple s/n prefixes - it is good info but not definitive. Your best resource is to email model and full S/N to SW and ask for Manufacture Date.
