Mr. Eisenberg. Now, would the entire production run of this model conform to that description?
Mr. Cunningham. Yes. And also there are other models.
Mr. Eisenberg. Other models also produced by Smith and Wesson?
Mr. Cunningham. Yes; in .38 Special.
Mr. Eisenberg. Could you estimate the number of those guns?
Mr. Cunningham. May I have the NRA reprint? My estimate comes from the figures that are set forth in Commission Exhibit 593, which states that by 1942 there were a million "Military and Police" revolvers, which is the prior model to the Victory model, which they produced.
Representative Boggs. That is this model?
Mr. Cunningham. No, sir. But the model has similar rifling characteristics. You could not distinguish between them. In other words, one is a commercially made gun—this is strictly a wartime gun. Also production of the "S" series continued until 1948, when the "C" series was started, including over one million "M&P" models, including the Victory model, which was this model, were manufactured between 1942 through March of 1948; and since that date, Smith and Wesson has produced over 500,000 "M&P" revolvers in the "C" series, which, when you add them up—there are over two and a half million.
Mr. Eisenberg. Two and a half million?
Mr. Cunningham. Over 2½ million.
