Now that the subject of early Model 52s has been broached, I’d like to get some definitive info on a variant. When, and how many, Model 52 pistols were built chambered in 38 AMU? I know some existed, but am wondering how many and why. We’re they built under contract for the military teams, or were they available to the civilian market? Were they ever built as complete guns or just as conversions for the standard 38 Specials. I just can’t find anything but fascinating rumors (and the one 38 AMU mag that oddly enough showed up with Dad’s 52-2
)
Thanks in advance for any and all help here!
