S&W 38 vs S&W 38 Special

[jeep78]

Thanks folks. I need one box for plinking and 1 box of HPs for bedside home defense.

Unless you find some pure lead hollowpoints, you are better off with wad cutters or semi-wadcutters. No expansion at the speed of a 38s&W short barrel.

OK, I have a 5 digit serial # and pinned barrel. Anyone have any idea of age or value.

I may have 50 rnds, let me check tomorrow.

I have an old smith that shoots that cartridge as well. It's an old police gun even has RHKP on the grip

Any Idea what shipping to 30656 would be? And thank you very much. I did not know this was going to be a scavenger hunt to feet the thing.
