Hello
I was just doing a little reading in the SCSW (3d Edition). On page 207, discussing the .38 Chiefs Special, it says 2" pinned barrel with round butt or 3" pinned barrel with a square butt. The same language appears on page 150, discussing the pre-model 36.
Well, this can't be right, can it? I know from owning them and from many I've seen that 2" square butt guns are abundant both from before and after 1957. Is this just another mistake in the Standard Catalog? I don't recall seeing it in the list that was posted here a while back, but it was a long list and maybe I just missed it.
Will someone please set me straight on this?
Also, does anyone (Hondo?) have a relative count on round vs. square butts on 2" Chiefs? Is one particularly more common than the other?
Thanks.
Jack
