I can't help myself
Charles, those are beauties! ESPECIALLY that Heavy Duty.
I too am a big fan of .38 Special revolvers. Some years ago I bought a Model 15 with practically no finish left - police tradein that had been stripped and cold blued, and that had faded to mottled gray. I reblued the barrel and cylinder with Van's and replaced the rubber Hogues with a used set of factory PCs. The frame looks somewhat like faded case color now and the gun doesn't look bad at all. One of the most useful guns I own, will do pretty much anything a fellow might a pistol for, and I don't have to worry about beating it up.
OTOH, along about the same time I bought a 1949 skinny barrel K-38 in the same condition - no finish left at all. It shot so well I couldn't leave it ugly, so I sent it back to S&W for a refinish. Still shoots great, but now it's so purty I rarely carry it.
Thanks for the pics!
