This past weekend, I ccw'ed a 4Th Model Safety Hammerless .38s&w, shipped in 1904 . ( And yes, its owner ccw's it on occasion.)

Rides great in front jeans pocket . Shoots to the sights, I hit 5 for 5 on steel plate at his private range. Power level at least on par with a .380. I like, wouldn't mind having somthing this.

I thought about it afterwards, and this is oldest ( actual production, not design) I have actually carried.

How about it people, anyone carried older, either in terms of date of production, or relative age at the time ?
