I'm about to buy my second S&W, a k-frame .38 M10, but need some help with serial number
What does the B mean before the number seen here, that it is a Blued model, blemish? the strike looks different from the rest of the number.  |

Without looking anything up, I’d guess probably 1992-93??? The offset letter really doesn’t mean anything, it’s just offset. Perhaps an early transition to the particular serial sequence. |

I was just at a local antique shop that typically has a few guns. I should have taken pictures, but they had a 3" Colt Cobra in 38 Spl for $675 and a 4" (I think) model 10-5 for $575. The model 10 was in very nice shape from what I could see, the Cobra was a little rough around the edges but I understand that the 3" versions are fairly scarce...

Quote HistoryQuoted: These two S&W are what would be considered gentleman's revolvers since they're small framed five-shot .38s. But they aren't. 38 Special, oh no, these are in .38 S&W. A cartridge dating back to 1877. https://i.imgur.com/50Jlc48.jpg The top-break is a S&W .38 Double Action 2nd Model and the solid frame is a S&W Model 33-1 .38 Regulation Police, built on the J-Frame. https://i.imgur.com/57UIBYd.jpg Reloading is vastly different, yet very simple for both. https://i.imgur.com/hQDOpP4.jpg https://i.imgur.com/dnkIAje.jpg Size wise, the grip of the top-break is slightly shorter than the solid frame but overall length from the back of the frames to the end of the barrels is about the same. Both are fixed iron sights. Nothing is adjustable. https://i.imgur.com/Rdmjw7g.jpg https://i.imgur.com/bqtiPvn.jpg I don't shoot either often, but I do shoot them and have carried both in the past. They're comfortable and the .38 S&W, while a slouch compared to modern defense loads, is not completely useless. A 145gr .361 lead slug traveling just under 700fps will still ruin someone's day with a good "T-Box" hit. The .38 S&W has a history of putting bad guy six feet under. It served as a police duty cartridge in the US prior to WWI and served the British Armed Forces and it Colonies from the 1920s all the way to the 1960s and beyond in some far flung locations that used to be under the Union Jack. One such famous use of the .38 S&W was by Colonel Rex Applegate himself. After WWII, Col. Applegate was down in Mexico working as a contractor to train and modernize the Mexican Armed Forces. While down there in 1950, he and a Mexican Army Officer were attack by a machete wielding loon. The Colonel was concealed carrying a S&W Top-Break Lemon Squeezer in .38 S&W and plugged the attacker. All while the Mexican Army Officer was still fumbling, trying to draw his 1911 from a flap holster. All in all, fun little guns and I can't wait until brass, powder, and primers become affordable again. I have about 300 rounds left. But I want more. https://i.imgur.com/Ymdwxpq.jpg  Attached File |
