An old friend of mine had one with an anatomical grip, used it at 25 yards for precision single handed shooting to excellent effect with Winchester.38sp but until he got it perfected had difficuilties with home loads, getting the right components for good cycling and the bullet correct fitment in the case. Thanks for the pictures and the thread links, I'll enjoy reading those - I appreciate it. Makes you wonder what filled it's gap? - or is there a gap for a precision .38 centre fire semi auto pistol anymore?
Depending upon what discipline you're shooting the use of highly accurate pistols in 32 long using wadcutters may have helped displace the 52 with the 38 wadcutter.
