Source for Old Style Thumbpiece Cyl Release k/L-frame?

[Marcruger]

Hi Folks, Does anyone know a vendor for the old-style blue thumbpiece cylinder release "button" to replace a triangular new style one? This would be the later style underneath to fit a recent model gun (an L-frame). S&W doesn't have any, so it makes me wonder how they are doing the K-frame "Classics" now? Neither Midway nor SARCO have them. I'd appreciate any leads. Thank you. Marc

I always get mine direct from S&W.

I cross referenced the Model 10 & 586 and both have the same
part no. listed for the blued, old style, cylinder release thumbpiece.

Part # 039210000

Thank you for the thought Ogy, but S&W doesn't have any. I talked to them twice recently. To Barnaby and Judge, many thanks. I will give them a call! Best wishes, Marc
