No Love For The 38 Special

Oh hell yeah I shoot them all the time. Target practice with 357 rounds would break you in a month. Anyway you can't shoot plates at River Bend Gun Club with magnum rounds. Good 357 ammo is high as hell.

I'd much rather have a 357 in anything bigger than a J frame but that doesn't mean I'm not going to shoot mostly 38's out of it.

Love to load up some 38 special. an head to the range . The Blackhawk is a pleasure to plink with ,shooting paper or steel :0)

Ran the last of my 38 ammo through my GP100 today. Anybody got any recommendations on the most accurate factory .38 ammo for target/bullseye?

I also have a 38 spl Victory circa 1943...lettered by Jinks.
Original 4" barrel...non-military. Shipped new to a ship yard in Oregon
S/N 4566xx

The one I have was chambered in 38 Smith & Wesson originally, later bored out to 38 Special. This one was sent to the UK for the war effort and re-patriated after the war. People who know more than me about these said it would have had a 5" barrel and was changed out when returned to the states. According to them, snub guns were very popular at the time and the shorter barrel was attached.

They are going to stop making ammo for them so you might as well donate to me...

I love my 38 and my 357!

Anyone shoot a S&W52? I shoot a 52-2 and it's awesome.

I always hate loosing the wood for the rubber but dang does it help, wood looks so good though. That's what the safe queens wear!
