Description for Item # 143977369
I purchased this gun between 1989 and 1991. The accompanying letter from Smith & Wesson is dated, October 5, 1992. This gun is the 1st Shorty 40 that was ever marketed. It is in stainless steel. The Lew Horton blued Shorty 40 and the Smith & Wesson Shorty 40, were marketed much later. This is one of the original Shorty 40s. It is a limited edition Smith & Wesson Performance Center Shorty 40. It was specially made for Lew Horton Distributors. It comes with 8 Performance Center magazines. The low serial number is PCS0036. The gun is in new condition. All reasonable offers will be considered. I accept USPS money orders. High bidder pays shipping. All federal and state laws apply. Thanks for looking.

Please note: this is a special Lew Horton Shorty 40 that preceded Smith & Wesson's Shorty 40. There is no comparison to the Lew Horton's Shorty 40 and Smith & Wesson's. Lew Horton's gun was expensive to buy and not too many were manufactured.
