Time to pull out the magnet!!

I personally inspected this one, I didn't have a magnet with me but it does appear to be steel cylinder. It had been fired very few times and was very tight lockup- mechanically appeared to be in excellent condition.

Definitely wouldn't fire +P ammo in it even with a steel cylinder. The frame can and will crack with the extra pressure.

That's a Big 10-4 Big Daddy

IIRC....The cylinder on these are aluminum...Super light but dangerous to shoot incorrect loads in it....I wouldn't trust 38+P in it. 38spl only.

Nope, it has a STEEL Wheel...But you're right about the Plus-P 's in the Aluminum Frame--Smith has no "Spare" Frames for repair purposes, so if it was mine--And I've had a couple of 'em--I would stick to Standard-Pressure loads ONLY--YMMV, of course...

That's what I use. .38 special. The model 12 numbering precludes it having an aluminum cylinder, unless someone replaced the steel wheel. Again, highly unlikely.

That's my thought too. If its al I would still like to have it as a collector item.

I'll take it for the offer I submitted in PM.
