Model 1882 with serial numbers under 20,000 were fitted with vulcanized rubber grips.

Most changes were made to help ease production and to make it less expensive.

One can distinguish a model 1929 by its round barrel from the 1882's octagonal one.

Grip was widened to make it more ergonomical and higher quality steel was used.

The upper frame was made more rigid and a firing pin instead of the older models one-piece hammer was used.
