I wish now that I’d have bought up a shoebox full of 4” Combat Masterpieces 5-7 years ago when police trade ins were available for $250-300. I was more into 38-44s and 357s then and had little to no interest in a 4” K frame 38.
A well used 4” adjustable sight K makes a fine general purpose handgun around the area I live. Nothing bigger than a pig and nothing more dangerous than a rattlesnake around so a good shooting 150-170gr SWC load at 900fps will get a lot done out to the 75-100 yard line. Sometimes it’s nice not living in bear country.
