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 a Pre-Model K22 from before 1957. The 4-screw configuration refers to the number of screws securing the side plate - earlier models used four screws while later models transitioned to three.
