Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Handguns Did somebody say .38? K38 that is..

New fambly member. 1971 S&W 14-3 6" .38 spl.

Arrives home tomorrow.

Got some 158 gr SWC's around here somewhere.

Congratulations LD, that is a beautiful revolver. Well done.

Thanks, ar15. Caught it at just the right time.

I had a beautiful K-38 in the gold box with all papers. My 13 year old grandson used it once in a bullseye competition against a few very experienced shooters and he came in second place. As I said I had one once, now he is referring to it a HIS K-38. He did give me a glimmer of hope to one day regaining it. He said he would take a K-32 in exchange if I could find and buy one. What a generous lad he is.

Congratulations. That’s a beaut.

Hahahahaha. OMG. Hilarious!

You've so caringly gifted him the generosity gene.

Thanks, mart!

On boy, that's pretty!

Sweet! Was the seller in northern Florida? Looks just like the one the pawn shop down the street has under glass. I know they sell on line, too.

That’s as nice as it gets. I keep saying I have enough. But that’s one I’ll make an exception for. Waiting for the right one. Needs to have 3 T’s. Hasbeen

That's a very nice find, and with the box/papers/tools as well, good snag.

Not as pristine, but functional. I picked up this pair of 8 3/8" K guns, .38 Spec and .22 LR, in a trading deal some years ago.

3 "T"'s, except shaped to suit grips, painted with black crinkle paint. It wouldn't be hard to replace those with OEM target grips to restore factory 3 T configuration.

Hawkeye, the seller was in KS.

A Vet, so another +1 win. Judging from his younger'ish age, I'd guess Afghan Vet.

hasbeen, your view depicts mine. Keep saying I've got enough. But, when one this nice comes up at a good price, I justify it with the "investment" tag.

Dirtfarmer, nice irons.

Thanks, MOGC and TimZ.

Great snag L.D.

I've been shooting up some old ammo in my 6" 14-3 lately. It doesn't seem to matter what I send down the barrel, that revolver will shoot!

Nice LD. Hard to pass on a nice Smith. I picked up a pretty solid M15-3 not long ago.

Yep, they do shoot.

Another .22 LR that's really accurate is my Colt Officer's Model Match that I picked up at a gun show some years ago for $400. I like Python grips better than OEM grips.

Nice looking iron, Ed.


I've got a 15-4 in similar condition.

Good job LD
