Go read the gun again. It would be a Police Positive SPECIAL in that caliber, also made in .38 Special. The regular PP had a shorter frame, for short cartridges.


The only handguns owned by my father that I'd want were a Colt .32 auto that he gave to an accountant to do some tax work for him and a S&W Highway Patrolman/M-28 that his widow has now or sold or gave to her kids. My brothers and I don't talk to her, so I don't know where that gun went.


My GF had only a US Revolver Co. copy of a top-break S&W DA model. It was a brand made by Iver Johnson. The finish was a peeling nickle.
