Great historical perspective of my favorite caliber; thanks John for putting that post together.

A year ago, in my mid sixties, I purchased my first revolver a S&W 15-3 4" "shooter". I loved the way it looked and shot so much I bought thirteen more .38 Special (some masquerading as .357s) shooters in various models, finishes and barrel lengths. My favorites are the heavy barrel 10's, 13's and 65s. The 8 & 3/8 K38 Masterpiece is fun to shoot if not a favorite. My CCW is a bobbed 37.

Posts such as John's fuel the collecting fire that's for sure! I have to constantly remind myself - I am a "shooter" and not a "collector."
