Are these M & P's?

[ct53]

Hello All,

I picked these up a couple of days ago and I think they are M & P's but not sure. 4" serial number is C104XX and the 5" serial number is S9230XX. What year? Thanks

Welcome to the Forum.

Yes, they are.

C104xxx is 1948-1951.

S9230xx is 1945-1948.

Sweet.

Love those vintage M&Ps. The 5" is especially cool.

ct53, ya done great.

The M&Ps and M10s are the handguns that paid the bills at Smith and Wesson. And the .38 Special cartridge as fired from those handguns is a very pleasant and relaxing round to shoot.

I especially also like the 5 inch barrels, they just seem to point and handle a little better than the 4 inch. Although I like them all.

S&W made a lot of different handguns in a lot of different calibers. Some very collectable and some very exotic. But the K-Frame older .38s are the best for most purposes I think.
