Hello all!
Long time listener, first time caller.
BLUF: do I own a frankengun?
I bought a S&W Model 17-4 4" on GB to help train new shooters. Paid under $600 for it. Was plenty good enough for what I planned on using it for, even with a little wear. I needed a shooter, and she fit the bill. But upon closer inspection, even though the serial numbers matched, that barrel says "38 S&W Special Ctg" and my eyebrows went up.
Anyway, it's accurate as can be even if it's a swap/sleeved/gunsmith's project gun. I just maybe wanted to see if anyone had any input on this ol' girl.
Thanks in advance, and you all have a great one!
