J frame and K frame question

[SURVIVOR619]

Wheel gun noob question:

Is my smith model 36 a J frame and my smith model 65-2 a K frame?

The .38spl mod 36 has a 5 round wheel whereas the .357mag mod 65-2 has a 6 round wheel.

Thanks for the courtesy of your reply.

I feel better trusting my fellow CGNers as opposed to the general interwebs.

Now you need to move on to the L, N, and X frames.

You can trust the Standard Catalog of S&W 3rd edition. Great book & pretty cheap for what it is. A must have for anybody with the slightest interest in S&W.

Or the guys at the S&WForums.

Those are a couple of sweet wheelguns ya got there.

agree on both points; both can be of great assistance for information and reference.

this from the Smith & Wesson Forum, fueled my fledgling interest and small collection of Smith & Wesson Sight Adjustment Tools (screwdrivers) into yet another side-addiction of sorts:
