Smith and Wesson manufactures different hand gun frames. So what makes j-l-k-n frames identifiable and are they shaped like those letters?
CraigNichols
The letters are just designations for different size frames of revolvers; they do not bear resemblance to the shape of the letters. J Frame: .38 Special and 9mm. This is the smallest frame. Early models may have a square butt or a round butt but all later models have round butts. K/L Frame: .38 Special and .357 Magnum. This is the medium frame revolver which may have a square butt or a round butt, but all later models (since mid 1990's) have round butts. N Frame: .41 and .44 Magnum. This is the large frame revolver which may have a square butt or a round butt, but all later models (since mid 1990's) have round butts.
