Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Handguns The 38 thread

There's a lot to be said for that.

Shot my grandpa's old 38 special earlier today:


No recoil at all. Almost forgot how nice the 38 is to shoot. It's been a while!!! Grew up with a 29-2, so the 38 was always considered a little pistol..

I haven’t seen an RG in forever, thought maybe they’d all died out by now. I did have one in 44 Mag come through the shop once. Never knew they made such a creature.

I’ve expanded my horizons. Colt Officers Model Heavy barrel inbound. Guess the Dillon will get backburnered for a while longer but I couldn’t pass for the price.

Between snail mail and waiting on the check to clear I’ll probably have two weeks to load a stack of wadcutters before it gets here.

Carried 38 Special with +P ammo when in law enforcement, excellent caliber, my all time favorite. Load 38 Specials in 357 Mag as well.

My Dad's 15-3 as I received it from him:



I had to do a grip upgrade, and now need to get out and shoot it!

Damn! Looks like it's new from the factory. You can really see that pre-1982 attention to detail on the finish. Beautiful.

There's one just about like that up for sale at the pawn shop down the street for over a grand, but it has the original box, and claims to be unfired.

That’s a very nice 15.

It sure is.
