My stainless S&W Model 62 isn't a J-Frame, it's an E-Frame,,,

What's a model 62?

Where I look I find 2 model 62s, one is a pro series 8 shot 357 probably on an N frame. The other is a 22 cal kit gun. So it will be interesting to see what S&W tells us.

Me too. I was hoping the OP says what gun he has. Since he mentioned J frame I'm thinking it's a 63. Should say on the crane in front of the cylinder.

I did not know this until I stumbled on this post in another forum,,,
The factory has different designations for the carbon steel and stainless frames.

Carbon Steel

• J
• K
• L
• N

Stainless Steel

• E
• F
• H
• G

S&W has always had separate letter designations for the stainless steel frame sizes,,,
But they aren't commonly known.

Most people go by the FAR more commonly known carbon steel frame letter designations.I've tried finding confirmation on the web,,,
But my search skills are inadequate.

Anyone able to confirm this?

What caliber is the 62 that you are asking about?

Well, since I'm housebound for 2-weeks after a surgery,,,
I might just take the time and e-mail S&W.

Here is my collection of S&W Stainless guns:

Jezebel - N-frame Model 629
Bridget - L-frame Model 686
Morgana - K-frame Model 67
Lilith - J-frame Model 63

I named them after "witchy" women from history,,,
When I open their case at the range,,,
I get lots of oohs & aahs.

Sorry for the typo in the title,,,
It was supposed to be a Model 63.

Mystery solved. One of the many guns I've had over the years I wish I still owned. Had a 4 inch and a 2 inch at one time.

Never heard of that always in the past 1-59 denoted blued or nickel. Past 60 if it started with a 6 it was stainless and if it started with a 5 it was blue/nickel and started with a 4 was usually alloy. Newer ones I got no idea since I stopped collecting them around 2000 No locks for me. oops! 61 came in blue/nickel forgot that pesky little 22
