K38 S&W

Those who know me also know I'm a man of few guns. I tend to shoot the same old stuff over & over. But even as few I have some aren't shot for long periods of time. Barbara & I were out today & she was shooting my 17-4. Once home I wiped the little sixgun down & decided to switch the grip panels as the standard target stocks were a little large for her. In the safe I removed the 38 from its perch & switched stocks between the two revolvers.

Well I couldn't bring myself to place the 38 back in the safe so upstairs it came with me. From what I understand it's a K38 Heavy Masterpiece with a non-tapered wide rib barrel made in 1951. It's a good shooter & worth what a shooter is worth. I have no box or papers or anything else.

Took this in poor light.

What it does have though are the things I love on these sixguns. The first thing done was to open the rear sight notch to allow some extra light in. Then a standard trigger was installed with the serrations polished out.

I love the target hammer but they are too long for me so one was cut in half & installed.

Sure love this sixgun. A man was walking though a local gun show with it & I asked what the price was. He said 300.00 & after a few minutes it was mine. This little gun does well on the steel plates or the bullseye. Fits on the bed stand & gives peace of mind through the night. Need to get it out more.
