Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Handguns Colt .38 Special primer

Well, I am now the owner of a mid-1960's Officers Model Match. Found one on gunbroker with no bids on it so I put in the starting bid, no one else bid against it so I got it. I was really amazed at the price on this, hundreds less than what folks are asking for most any Smith of that era and thousands less than any snake gun.

I appreciate everybody's input, it really helped me narrow down what would best fit my needs.

This is a pic from the auction of the one I got. It comes with the original box and an extra set of target grips. I'm left handed and can't use those so will probably be selling them off.

"Too bad on the grips. They are pretty similar to Smith Coke bottles."

I may have given the wrong impression - it comes with the factory standard grips shown in the picture but also has a separate pair of target grips with a right hand thumb rest. That thumb rest isn't usable from the left hand so it will go down the road.

Don't know who made these but will find out when it gets here.
