There have been some previous postings concerning ownership of handguns in Mexico, and a little searching should get results. Generally, an "ordinary" Mexican citizen cannot own any handgun in a caliber larger than .38 Special. And it is very difficult even then. And there is only one legal gun shop in all of Mexico, and it is in Mexico City and operated by the Mexican Army. Apparently none of the Mexican gun regulations apply to the narcos.

Definitivamente, este calibre .38 spl en revover, y el .380 en pistola, son los maximos autorizados para poseer, la portacion esta solo en papel, es decir la constitucion la permite, pero en la practica es casi imposible conseguir una, para que se den una idea, de un universo de 110 millones de mexicanos solo hay 3500 portaciones particulares autorizadas, la mayoria de ellas en manos de politicos y empresarios poderosos, el asunto de llevar un arma encima en Mexico, es cosa de arriesgarse, por otro lado, los narcos y deliencuentes no obedecen la ley, aunque en la practica ya pocos mexicanos la obedecen al pie de la letra. yo soy de los que si obedecen


Definitely, this caliber .38 spl in revolver, and .380 in pistol, are the maximum authorized to own, the portacion is only in paper, that is to say the constitution allows it, but in practice it is almost impossible to get one, so that They give an idea, of a universe of 110 million Mexicans there are only 3500 authorized private porting, most of them in the hands of powerful politicians and entrepreneurs, the issue of carrying a gun over Mexico is a risk, on the other hand , Narcos and deliencuentes do not obey the law, although in practice few Mexicans obey it to the letter. I am of those who obey.

This is what your handgun looked like when it was new. Although mine is a little older(1911)

I notice in OP revolver that the address and patent dates are on TOP of barrel. I have a similar M&P #251400 which is a 4 inch also and the address and patents are on RIGHT side of barrel. The last patent on mine is 1909 whereas OP gun is 1914. I find this interesting that the 1914 patent date was phased in so slowly. Ron

Hola. Su S&W es muy bonito!

Your M&P model probably shipped in 1919. I have on my list SN 2996xx which shipped from the factory in 6/1919.

Su modelo de M & P probablemente se envió en 1919. Tengo en mi lista SN 2996xx que envió desde la fábrica en 6/1919.

I also had a June 1919 shipped. Got documentation from S&W. Believe it was 2996xx, but not sure. Can't check it now because it went to my son. Was given to me by my father. Bob
