If it's a newer numbered model revolver, there should be a model number with any revision number stamped on the frame. You can see it when you swing out the cylinder. It would be stamped on the frame where the cylinder pivots, in front of the cylinder below the barrel looking at the gun with the barrel pointing to your left. They began stamping the frame in 1958.

It really depends on how you want to use it. Pocket Revolver: Smith & Wesson Model 649 Bodyguard or Model 640 Centennial are the very best choices in pocket revolvers in my opinion. The Bodyguard has a shrouded hammer and the Centennial is a true hammerless design. Both offer a snag-free draw from the pocket and both can be repeatedly fired from inside the pocket or purse. Belt Gun: Smith & Wesson Model 19, Smith & Wesson Model 686, or Ruger GP-100 would make a great choice. The Model 19 was the first medium framed .357 Magnum ever marketed, it is trim, light, and accurate. The S&W M-686 is somewhat heavier than the M-19 so it will hold up better to a steady diet of full power magnum loads. The same can be said for the Ruger GP-100. For hunting, nothing beats a Ruger Blackhawk in .357 Magnum revolvers. However, for hunting, Blackhawks in .41 Magnum, .45 LC, or Super Blackhawks in .44 RemMag are a better choice. Doc

The Model 19 was NOT the first .357 revolver from S&W! The K-frame "Combat Magnum" (renamed the "19" in 1957) came out circa 1955-1956. The ".357 Magnum" (renamed the Model 27 in 1957) came out in 1935 and was a collaboration between Smith and Wesson and Winchester (Hence the term, .357 Winchester Magnum). The 1935 model was a N-frame (no one dared make a k-frame in that caliber back then) and was discontinued in the mid-ninties.

Since a Model 7 doesn't exist, my guess is that what you actually have is a model 27 which is also known as the Combat Magnum. It was chambered in the .357 magnum caliber. Any decent gunsmith could tell you what you have.

Have you searched the net yet for a Smith & Wesson site. The only other thing I could suggest is either contact the company direct or by mail. OR contact a gun smith. I'm sure you'll get the info you need from one of the above.

go back to whoever you bought it from and ask them some questions. Model 7 doesnt exist as far as i know, and the model 19 was the first smith to chamber the .357 magnum. Maybe take it to a decent gunsmith and see if he can help you out.

Look on the barrel or the frame.
