Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Handguns .38 Special As a Carry Gun

I don't carry a revolver nowadays for CCW, but I have a couple DA 357 revolvers (Security Six, and LCRx).

I will always have a special place in my heart for a 38 Special. That is what we carried back in my days as an Embassy Guard.

'82-'83, Ruger Service Six with 130gr ball (Brazzaville)
'83-'85, S&W Model 10 with 130gr ball (San Salvador)
'92-'93, S&W Model 19 with 125gr Nyclad HP 38Spl+P(Frankfurt)
'93-'95 S&W Model 19 with 125gr Nyclad HP 38Spl+P(Zagreb).

Here's an old pic of yours truly, with the Model 10, down in El Salvador, 1984.


That's back when I was young, dumb, and hard as woodpecker lips.....grin
