New to me, Model 33-1
Picked this 33-1 up today, Serial R147XX.
Original grips, matching serial #'s. A speck or two of rust just inside the barrel, and one of the flutes has a little bit of discoloration.
Still, not disappointed with the find.

Nice find! They are neat little revolvers, just something about a four inch J frame. I found a 62 vintage one NIB a few years ago and it dident stay that way for long!

I have a 4" model 33-1 also. I love shooting it. It's a hoot with the smaller cartridge. It's like shooting a 380 out of a revolver. It's a great revolver design, and very easy to carry and conceal. I hope you will enjoy yours as much as I enjoy mine. It's a great find and there aren't too many of them floating around.

Looks great and the few minor issues makes it so much easier to shoot. Solid S&W there.

Where do you find the ammo for the 33-1? I'd like to put a few rounds through her.

The .38 S&W is still being made by US and offshore companys and although not stocked by many shops anymore any gunshop can order you some in. Prepare for a bit of sticker shock though, as a low volume sales round it is a bit pricey. I reload for mine and as had been said it is a hoot to shoot.

I bought 38 S&W from internet site "Ammo to Go" for less than $20 a box. The postage was about equal to the sales tax I would have paid locally. My revolver is a pre-33 I frame.
