Some bluing loss at muzzle both sides, nary a turn mark on cylinder, timing/lockup perfect as is bore. Original box signed by a "Capt. Murphy", anybody know him, haha! Very pleased, been wanting one of these for many years but was always unwilling to pay the high tariff commanded by them. (Fairly rare and not many made because .32's were long out of fashion among bullseye shooters by the time this one was made. The .38 Special was kingshit by then.) I snagged this one for about half of what they commonly go for, but still wasn't exactly cheap! Can't wait to shoot it. "You can lead a man to logic, but you cannot make him think."

Have been playing with an Officer's Model Match .38 for a while now and can appreciate just what fine revolvers these are. Where did you manage to find that one? Gunnery, gunnery, gunnery. Hit the target, all else is twaddle!

I had been engaged in a long-winded phone conversation with my long distance GF, and drinking because, well, she drives me to drink sometimes, and was multi-tasking the whole time by perusing the gun sites.

I think it's time to start searching for a K32 to match it. If something on the internet makes you angry the odds are you're being manipulated

I have two Officer Model Heavy barrels one is 22 the other 38 special with factory option Roper grips. Both are pre-war second issue. These are extremely nice hand fitted revolvers and most Bullseye shooters say the ‘ improved action ‘ was the best. I can’t argue with this at all. I’ve had later 5th issue guns and though nice there is a big difference in my hands. The Pythons are actually a far cry from those pre-war revolvers in fit and finish. Oh yea the box is a big plus too. Always wanted a 32 but they as hard to find as a cherry in SF Rick

I had multiple opportunities in a past life to buy Officer’s Models in 38 and 22, cheap even. Same for a very awesome and very reasonable priced New Service Target. I passed them all because I “wasn’t a Colt guy”. Now I feel like I wasn’t a Colt guy but I was a dumbass.
