S&W uses a screw on the front side of the frame to retain the yoke - it fits into a notch in the yoke axle. If this screw gets too loose, the yoke can slide forward and off the pistol. I had the same problem with my S&W 625 - easy fix.
This reply should be in your "Master List" post, but you didn't open that one for comments.
You ask if S&W makes an all-steel .38 Special ONLY snub of any type, and they do: the Model 40 Centennial Classic in blue or nickel finish, at a higher price because it's in the Classic line. Be aware that the Model 40 comes equipped with the original grip safety of that revolver, so changing stocks to something more comfortable is problematic.
I reserve the right to delete patently offensive comments. Or, really, any comment I feel like. Or I might leave a really juicy comment up for private ridicule. Also spammers.
You can always offend hippies in the comment section. Chances are, those will be held up as a proper example...
WTF?
