Model 15s are awesome!
Without question my favorite K Frame.
Years ago I picked mine up used out of a pawn shop. I immediately went down to the local indoor range. Sitting down behind the sand bags, and making no sight adjustments, the Model 15 shot 5 for 5 into the x and 10 ring at 15 yards. I had never had a gun do that before. That old Combat Masterpiece has been a favorite since then. Just so very easy to shoot well, and perfect balance.
If we have to march off into the next world, let us walk there on the bodies of our enemies.
Thanks for the education. Im even more excited now than when I bought it. Another forum member just pm’d me and said the hammer was introduced in 1946 and HCM said production was stopped in 1948 so Ive got a pretty good idea of the age. He also gave me a very helpful tip on how to get the stocks off without damaging them and check if they are numbered to the gun.

@UNK My copy of the standard catalog of S&W shows the serial to be 1948. What side are the barrel markings, and is there both “38 S&W Special CTG” as well as “Smith and Wesson” on the other? I can’t tell from the photos on my ipad. The book says that production started in 1949, which doesn’t quite match the serial, or HCM’s informed comments above. Regardless, the sideplate screws date it to before 1955. FWIW.
