My friend just got a model 37-1 from his grandfather. He's not sure how old it is. It doesn't have the pinned barrel. The serial # is bbn86xx
Can someone tell me when it was built and if +p is ok. |

No, not just a model #, it has to be a dash model #! 37-1 should be okay with +P ammo for once in a while shooting. I certainly wouldn't do more than 10-15rds a month (if that) with +P ammo.
S&W Reference Book says 37-1 was introduced in 1988 with the new yoke retention system & the 37-2 came out in 1990 with a new sight width from 1/8 to 1/10. Hope this helps! |
