Fresh out of jail

[trampis]

Just got my latest out of jail and as a S & W newbie, was hoping for some knowledge from the forum.

I'm not familiar with the terms I see like "pre lock, pinned & recessed barrel, etc". I do know what the lock is, but other than that, I've no clue about them.

I do believe this gun was made in the 80's which is why I'm posted here.

Thanks for your knowledge in advance.

Looks like a 19-5 not pinned and recessed.

Yes, there's a 19-5 stamped under the serial number on the frame.

pre lock

You know what that means -

Pre-lock -

Post-lock -

pinned barrel

If you look you can see the "pin" that passes through the frame and the barrel.

recessed

Means recessed cylinder chambers. I might not have a picture of that for you but if I don't someone else will post one.

I checked - I've never taken a cylinder photo so someone else will have to show you.

Ah, totally get it now...pre lock = pre hole. Thanks for the info!

SCSW #4 shows AEF prefix on serial number as 1984 production. Nice 19-5!
