Anyone know info on this s&w 2nd model .32?

I'm not great with the very old revolvers but if I got this right it dates to 1880 or 1881 at the latest. (I think)

I'm no expert, but that means black powder only . Buffalo Arms is usually a good source for ammo.

If you plan to shoot it, it would be a good idea to get a blacksmith to check it first.
I don't know your gun knowledge or background, etc.

Thank you for adding that, I mistakenly took it for granted the owner would know that. I shouldn't make those assumptions. Thanks again for catching my omission.

Your revolver left the factory in 1980. You are lucky to have it, IMO it's one of the best factory target .38 Special revolvers ever produced.

As for the trigger, it probably left the factory like that. It is after all named the K-38 Target Masterpiece.

I'm sorry but my reference material doesn't cover the newer M40 revolvers. I need to get a newer book when I can. Sorry again, maybe someone knows this one.

I do know the M40 was reintroduced in 2008 as the M40-1 and then again discontinued in 2012.

I have a model 10-6, s/n D457201. I know it was made in 1962 or after. But what year?

In reality it could be 1967 or later because that year was the start of the D serial numbers.
Your M10 left the factory in late 1972.

Thank you.
