How do you tell what kind of frame a smith and Wesson revolver is?
The small frame revolvers, Models 36, 37, 60, etc. were five shot and they were built upon the "J" frame. The medium caliber revolvers: Models 10, 19, 13, etc. mostly in .38 Special and .357 Magnum were built on the "K" frame. The larger guns like the Model 29, in calibers such as .44 Special, .44 Magnum, .45 Long Colt, and I believe perhaps .41 Magnum were built on the "L" frame. Hope this helps.Actually the large frame smith and Wesson revolvers are based on the N frame.this will include all model 20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,57,and 58.This will include the pre war models of 1917,and 44 hand ejectors,and 455 hand ejectors.This will also include the new models 520,and 629.These are all N frame revolvers.
Where will the model number be on a revolver?
Not all revolvers HAVE a model number- and those that DO do not have it marked on all revolvers. For NEWER Smith & Wesson revolvers, open the cylinder, and look on the part of the frame that is covered by the crane (crane connects the cylinder to the frame) You might see something like 10-5, indicating a Model 10, 5th change. But not all S&Ws had a model number.
