Identify marks on this 442??

[Mickstix]

Hey gang, can anyone tell me if the humps or bumps or whatever they are, on this 442 Airweight, are supposed to be there?? Looks like 2 bumps or something at the back (one above and one below) of the cylinder release latch? I dont recall seeing those on other 442's but then again, I've not seen many up close.. Im wondering if there all like this, or what they are for? (Might just be scratchs for all I know?) Thanks for your time!!

I don't have them on my 442 or either of my 642's and I can't say I recall ever seeing them.
From the pic it sure looks like part of the frame. It almost looks like it's there to keep the release from going back too far.

I'm sure someone will chime in with the same marks on thiers.

Take it easy-n-at,

Interesting. I've never seen anything like that. That's a nolock with the new grips. I thought all the new nolock guns were made with the old style grips...

My new/no-lock 642 has the new style grips, but not those bumps/humps like that 442 has.

Not on my 442 no dash.

Hey, Mick...

Did you ever get to the bottom of what those bumps are there for?
