J frame questions

[Lesloan]

Names are always, sooner of later, recyclable. Think of it in marketing brain terms. We'll take this new gun and hang an old name on it. After all, some of those old names were very good. They will now score two goals. First, the "geezers" like you and I will be taken back to the day when a Military & Police was a great name for a revolver. Second, the Nuevo buyer will just say "hey that's a cool name for a new pistol".
Today's marketing geniuses spend their day talking about how many times a day the gun's name hits on the internet.

I think it's just an effort to keep me in a constant state of confusion. Seems to be working!

They are hard to come by..View attachment 1400055 but worth it..

Looks just like my mod. 38, except that I think yours looks shinier. I use mine for EDC in a pocket holster.

Check out the 610, J frame 357 mag, with a firing pin on the hammer, or the model 35 forerunner of the J frame, S&W has a history of strange mixing of models... John
