Good afternoon Sir:
Nice to hear from you "Texas Star"!!!!....
S&W guns are very common in Argentina more common than Colt or Ruger handguns, I must say that they were imported regulary to my Country from 1978 till 1995, today they are not so commonly available brand new, but commonly available used in very good condition, as for the price I must say that brand new S&W revolvers are three times more the price in USA,.38 Special and .357 Magnum factory is commonly available in Argentina, the Hollow Point ammo is only allowed for hunting, but not for personal defense for this purpose you must stick to FMJ and Lead Nose,also you may use JSP but no hollow points for personal defense.That is why the .45ACP Auto caliber is so popular as well as 9mm and .38 Special (this last one for target use, or personal defense in Lead Round Nose)
We shall keep "in touch"!!!,Thanks from a S. American member
Best Wishes
