    Military 45 ACP's U.S.&S

    ON the slide of U.S.&S. when was the P proof change from a hanging P to a centered P in front of the rear sight?


    Thank

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.

    Somewhere around the 1080000 serial number range.

    Johnny I appreciate your reply. I have a U.S.& S. sn. is 10753xx and the patina of the slide and frame match, so I think I will leave it alone and not chase a hanging P slide. Again thanks for your reply.

    No one really knows for sure, so I would also leave it alone. The serial number range where the P proofs first show up is also very broad.

    Here is one in the 1.073 million range that belongs to a friend. The P is nearing the final placement.

    They didn't all hang from te left side, either. I've seen several with the "P" proof right of center.

    For the OP pistol, I'd be inspecting the "P" on both the slide and receiver. If they match, it doesn't matter where the "P" proof is located on the slide...just as long as it's there.
