38 S&W CTG revolver
I have a blue finish S&W revolver that belonged to my dad I would like info on. It has a 4" barrel that says Smith&Wesson on one side and 38 S&W CTG on the other side. It has a ramp sight on the front of barrel, fixed at rear. It has "Made in The USA" stamped on the frame along with S&W's trademark stamp. It has serial number 601XXXP stamped under the barrel and V601XXX under the grips. This same number is stamped on the cylinder also.There is also a "P" stamped on the left side of the frame close to the cylinder. I would like to know the date of manufacture if possible, and if it is safe to shoot .38 special rounds thru it. Any info would be appreciated, thanks.
