    New 44 mag ?

    I just got a 44 mag, M94 in a deal. Top eject, yadda, yadda. Made sometime in the 70's or 80's. SN is 3,XXX,XXX M

    What does the M mean?
    Calaveras Slim

    More than likely that letter means probably what month or year it was made.Robert

    They stamped "M" on the end of the serial number to designate it as being a magnum frame.

    I believe "MAGNUM" is stamped on the bottom of the frame also. At least my 3409XXXM 44 is. I think mine was dated to 1971.
