Post WWII Production

Here's my two cents. Spasmodically producing 38/44 Heavy Duties? Over 9000 HDs is spasmodically? From 1946-1950, they almost eclipsed the entire pre war production! If you wanted a N frame handgun after the war, it either was a HD or Outdoorsman. The 44 and 357 were only a handful compared to those two 38/44s!

It may all just be a matter of relative perspective.

Compared to +/-300,000 M&Ps from 1946 to 1950, those 9000 can look pretty sparse …

I just compared them to N frame production, apples to apples, not apples to oranges
