Post War M&P vs. Pre Model 10

[JSR III]

Wondering if a Model 36-8 would be considered a pre model 36-9??? Or maybe just call it a Chief Special.

Conversely, there are not many four line guns with the long action; at least I've only located one (see note 5 above). Other exceptions might be guns that went back to the service department for work and had the new address put on them; a practice that Roy had to stop.

I know this thread is about K frames, but does the same apply to N frames of the same era?

I have no idea. I own a few N frames and like them. But I don't "collect" them and know little of their history. I'll leave that to someone else.

It would be interesting to know the answer to your question. Maybe an N frame expert will pop up and give it to us. Maybe in a different thread. This one is getting pretty long as it is.

Thanks again to all who contributed. Very informative, as usual. I only own one N frame, a Brazilian, but I'd be interested in knowing the answer as well. Good shootin',
