Yes..bore is a mirror.I can't really afford many guns in this condition..but when an example of a model comes along that you need..you buy it. The little .38 makes me smile every time I "discover" it again. Kind of the pre-pre-36. HKS 5 shot 38 J frame speedloader works perfectly on those 38 S&Ws.
I feel like I'm 13 again and going to sneak out Dads .38 and shoot it..only his was a model 15. Good times.
