Original?

My 1905 3rd Model 32-20 has a smooth trigger. Modified or original?

I do not recall anything other than 'smooth' Triggers from that era of S & W 'M&P's.

The ones I have seen from this have era all had them, so I vote original also.

Silly me. I just assumed they were always grooved. Learn sumptin' new everyday.

Thanks.

Provoked to check mine too. All are smooth. Wonder though, could one have special ordered a grooved (target) trigger from the factory back then?

I was ready to jump all over that comment, but after finding smooth triggers on the first five (.38) M&P's of that era I decided to stop counting instead. It would appear there are those who pay close attention, and some others who don't----more's the pity!!

I surrender!!

By the 600,000 serial numbers, and perhaps earlier, all my .38 M&P targets have
grooved triggers. I'll look at the early catalogs, and see if they say anything about
that.

It's okay with me: I "groove" on smooth triggers.

Smooth triggers were common well in the the late 1920s. My 1926 .44 Special, #28363, has one. It shipped in January 1927. My 1926 .44, SN 37585, that shipped in March 1931, has a grooved trigger.
