These are my favorite kind, they don't have to be babied and they're just begging to be shot. There's a lot to be said for that.

Shot my grandpa's old 38 special earlier today: No recoil at all. Almost forgot how nice the 38 is to shoot. It's been a while!!! Grew up with a 29-2, so the 38 was always considered a little pistol..
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

I haven’t seen an RG in forever, thought maybe they’d all died out by now. I did have one in 44 Mag come through the shop once. Never knew they made such a creature.

I’ve expanded my horizons. Colt Officers Model Heavy barrel inbound. Guess the Dillon will get backburnered for a while longer but I couldn’t pass for the price.
Between snail mail and waiting on the check to clear I’ll probably have two weeks to load a stack of wadcutters before it gets here.

Carried 38 Special with +P ammo when in law enforcement, excellent caliber, my all time favorite. Load 38 Specials in 357 Mag as well.

My Dad's 15-3 as I received it from him: I had to do a grip upgrade, and now need to get out and shoot it!

Damn! Looks like it's new from the factory. You can really see that pre-1982 attention to detail on the finish. Beautiful.
There's one just about like that up for sale at the pawn shop down the street for over a grand, but it has the original box, and claims to be unfired.
