    I didn't see any manufacturing debris. I stoned the bottom of the rebound slide and broke the corners with the stone.

    But the next time I accidentally pull the hand off the trigger, I'm going to cut to the chase and open up a vein. Getting the hand's spring back into position and tensioned was a four-starred pitch-kitty. I figured out, after a lot of trial-and-error, that the best way to tension the spring was to push it with an allen key that fits inside the trigger.

    (I was afraid that I had just made the proverbial "bag o' gun parts". Parts came off that don't come off older K-frames.)

    The trigger feels a little lighter, now. I've got some snap-caps in it and I'll keep dry-firing it. Down the road,, I'll fit the lock-delete plug.

    I took the side plate off my 340PD just to have a looksee. Got nervous immediately. Different but doable after I took a few minutes to figure out the new lock work. It was clean with no debris. Congrats on your new purchase!! Hope you have much enjoyment shooting the new “K”.

    Question for you new 66 admirers. Any Idea why the wonder kids at S&W decided to go with a 2-3/4" barrel instead of the long standing, more popular 3" found on older versions of the K-frame? Did they just want to be different or was there a logical rational behind the slight chop job.

    My unscientific guess is that the reason that people wanted 3 inch guns was because they wanted a full-length ejection rod. Since the new guns don’t lock up at the end of the ejection rod, they figured they could shave a quarter inch off the barrel length and still have a full length ejection rod.

    On the other hand, if the barrel profile was a little sharper at the end, they might have gotten away with a 2 1/2 inch barrel and still kept the full-length ejection rod.

    But I don’t know for sure.

    Recent find... 15-3 from '69.

    Left side is real nice, but it was in a sock drawer for too long on the right side - some bumps/pits.
    Light coat of oil and some TLC. Nice bore; hardly shot, it seems.

    Inside, everything is really nice - the SA is stupid light, DA is super smooth.

    Box of NyClads came with it...

    Very, very nice. I have a 15-3, it’s one of my two “go shoot a USPSA/IDPA match” guns. (The other is a 686.)

    I wish they still made Nyclads. .38+P SWCHPs would be the bomb.

    I’ve dry-fired it a bunch of times, maybe 700 or so. Next step is to shoot it.
