Screwdrivers

[Harv 24]

This is the screwdriver that came with the model 586 I purchased in 1986. When did S&W stop giving screwdrivers as part of a new pistol? And why? It seems like a nice touch for a pistol your paying close to a grand. Was this a MBA, bean counter cost saving idea? Just curious.

I don't know, but I have a pile of them. I like to use those for adjusting different things around the house and machinery.

After that fluted version, they came with a flat tool, blade on each end. I don't know when they stopped including one with any adjustible sighted handgun.

It would be nice if they still came with a new gun. It wouldn't matter much to me now as all I buy are older used Smith's. I had 10 of them until I sold 6 of them at a gun show last month.

SAT's = Sight Adjustment Tools not screwdrivers.

Due a search for this term. https://smith-wessonforum.com/threads/sight-adjustment-tool.720123/ There are a lot of threads out there on the subject.

I got a S&W M13 back in the 80" it had what you call a SAT.
Well, a M13 doesn't have adjustable sights......

They fit pretty good in the side plate screws, too.
That screwdriver up in post 5 looks to have a little too much orange in it. (Sunday Mornin' Comin' Down.)
