Identifying Your Smith & Wesson Model
To determine your Smith & Wesson revolver model number, swing out the cylinder and check behind the yoke on the frame for the model number stamped into the metal. Model numbers began appearing in 1957-58. If your revolver has no model number, it may be pre-1957. Contact us with your serial number and we can help identify the correct parts for your firearm.
