    Inherited 38 special

    Ive since added a Bodyguard .38 special+P with laser and waiting for my 586 L-Comp to be delivered to my ffl. Picking up a P30SK today. It seems there are plenty of 9mm around but getting a .357 or .44 SW is hard to find here. I'll keep running a few rds through the old girl every once in a...

    It been a while since i been to this forum and i still have the Nambu's and the type 26's. The SW is still sitting in the safe and catches my eye every time i see it.

    This one will never fire again as long as i have it. I would like to have it checked out though and timed but as far as taking it to the range...not gonna happen. Have too many other toys to have fun with. I almost traded grips but decided not to as we found the original grips in a suit case...
