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.
Chronographs, bore scopes and pattern boards have broke a lot of hearts.

New fambly member. 1971 S&W 14-3 6" .38 spl. Arrives home tomorrow. Got some 158 gr SWC's around here somewhere. 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. DF

Judging from his younger'ish age, I'd guess Afghan Vet.

Keep saying I've got enough. But, when one this nice comes up at a good price, I justify it with the "investment" tag. My hard goods hedge fund.

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.

RS 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. DF
