I just picked up a Victory Model and I'm looking for some information. It is a 5 inch barrel model, marked US Property CHD on the top strap. The barrel has .38 S&W CTG. The serial number is V 4202XX with the lanyard hole between the V and the number. The serial number is on the butt and barrel. The cylinder does not have the serial number and a .38 Special cartridge will chamber. Has the cylinder been machined to accept the Special and should it be safe to shoot modern .38 Special ammo (not +P's)?
Also, what would be the correct grips for this revolver? It has later K frame Magnas. I know they aren't what belong on it.
