Are you sure you don't have the model #?.
As others have stated it could be A model 10,12,14,15
etc. It could also be a smaller gun like a model 36, 37
or a stainless model 60. Don |
I viewed the gun at an estate sale preview. It was rather dark in the room and there were others waiting to look at it so my time was limited for inspection. I didn't see a model # stamped anywhere... just the S&W .38 Special CTG on the barrel along with the logo by the handle. The barrel appeared to be 5" lg. and the frame was "mid-size", unlike the S&W 44 Mag next to it (that's one big gun!). I was able to hold it to a light to view the cylinder gap and it appeared to be between .005 to .01 so that seemed ok. The grips appeared to be a walnut wood that was "checkered" I can't offer many other details except that it isn't stainless.
Thanks for your replies in helping me try to make a decision to jump on this. My Ruger SP 101 .357 needs a playmate!
