Compatibility:
This thumb piece and nut assembly is designed specifically for the Smith & Wesson K Frame Model 13, a medium-frame 6-shot revolver chambered in .357 Magnum (also fires .38 Special). The Model 13 is the fixed-sight version of the Model 19 Combat Magnum and has been widely used by law enforcement. The thumb piece is the lever on the left side of the frame that releases the cylinder latch, allowing the cylinder to swing out for loading and unloading. This is the old style design used in earlier production Model 13 revolvers.
About the K Frame Model 13:
The K Frame is Smith & Wesson's medium-sized revolver frame, known for its versatility and balance. The Model 13 was introduced in 1974 as a heavy-barrel .357 Magnum service revolver with fixed sights, designed for law enforcement duty use. It offers the power of .357 Magnum in a manageable medium-frame package.
Condition:
This is a used factory assembly removed from a Smith & Wesson K Frame Model 13 revolver. Both the thumb piece and nut have been inspected and are in good working condition with normal wear consistent with use. The nickel plating shows typical handling marks and may have some wear. Used parts offer an economical solution for repairs and restorations while maintaining OEM quality and fit.
Installation:
Professional gunsmith installation is recommended for proper fitting and function. The thumb piece and nut require proper installation to ensure reliable cylinder release operation. Knowledge of Smith & Wesson revolver mechanisms is helpful for installation.
