Found, and verified by Ruger, KSP-331XL, Model 5723, ser. no. 572-1910X, shipped Sept. 1995.
This may be one of the earliest "L" (DAO spurless hammer) guns. :shock:
Chad lists the earliest reported 2" spurless hammer (KSP-321XL) as 572-70368.
The "L" hammer was not commonly ordered on the 3" guns making this over towards a 'rare' gun. It's the first one I've seen.
I think folks would have been more inclined to order the spurless hammer on the 2" gun than the 3" gun. My casual observation of examples out there would support this.
