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

Hey MontanaMarine, appreciate your service. In the picture you are lining up behind that machine gun left handed, left eye. But you appear to carry your handgun strong side right handed. You shoot handguns right handed and long guns left handed? Wouldn't be the first time I completely interpreted something wrong if I looked at your picture wrong.



Welcome to the 1980's....grin.

I'm a lefty, shoot lefty, left eye dominant. Apparently there were no LH holsters in any of the embassies back then. So any left hand Marines got issued RH leather. Not a good situation, but that's what it was.


I bet it didn't slow you down much.
