S&W K Frame Model K38 Pre-Model 15 Grip Alignment Pin .38 Special – Part# 1599

Smith & Wesson K Frame Model K38 Pre-Model 15 Grip Alignment Pin – Old Style

Replace a worn or missing grip alignment pin on your K38 or Pre-Model 15 with this factory-original component. The grip alignment pin (also called the stock alignment pin or grip locating pin) indexes the grip panels to the frame, ensuring they seat flush and consistently in the same position every time — a missing pin allows grips to shift or rotate on the frame, affecting both feel and appearance. This old-style blue steel pin is the correct replacement for the K Frame Model K38 (Pre-Model 15) chambered in .38 Special.

About the K38 / Pre-Model 15

The K38 Masterpiece (later designated the Model 15 Combat Masterpiece) is one of the most celebrated K Frame revolvers ever produced. Pre-model revolvers predate the 1957–58 model number system; if your revolver has no model number stamped behind the yoke, contact us with the serial number and we'll confirm compatibility.
