This listing is for the Smith & Wesson K Frame Model 14 Thumb Piece & Nut, Blue Steel (Used OEM Part 14179A) only.
Used factory original Smith & Wesson thumb piece and nut assembly for the K Frame Model 14 (.38 Masterpiece) revolver, blued finish. The thumb piece (cylinder release latch) and nut allow the cylinder to swing out for loading and unloading — a worn, bent, or broken thumb piece causes the cylinder to fail to release properly.
