Important: This sideplate has a nickel finish and is intended for nickel-plated K Frame Model 10 revolvers. It is not a finish match for blued or stainless revolvers. Sideplate fit can vary between production runs and dash numbers — verify your revolver’s dash number before ordering. Gunsmith fitting recommended.
Function
The sideplate is the removable panel on the left side of the frame that encloses the internal action components (hammer, trigger, rebound slide, hand, and springs). It must be removed to access the lock work for cleaning, inspection, or part replacement. A properly fitted sideplate sits flush with the frame with no gaps or rocking.
Installation Note
Professional gunsmith installation required. Sideplate removal and reinstallation requires proper technique to avoid damaging the frame or internal components. Never pry the sideplate — use a rubber mallet to tap the grip frame to loosen it. Verify flush fit and all screw torque after installation.
