The only thing he told me was that he carried it in Korea. We never usually talked about the history of the firearm, we just enjoyed shooting it together when I was younger. Dad didn't talk much about the war. As far as shooting with him, it was always hunting....shotguns, rifles. That .38...
Yessir. My father was a stickler for gun maintenance. He's been gone now for 23 years, but his memory lives on through his firearms. He instilled in me...you shoot it, you clean and lube immediately afterwards, or as soon as you can.
I'll tighten that screw up until flush. Good catch! That firearm is actually my 86 year old mother's home defense gun. She likes shooting it. Thanks!!!
Here are some more pictures for further clarification. I forgot to measure the barrel length, so I'll get that, and post later. Thank you so much again guys! It is much appreciated!!!
Hello all! I'm new to the forum, but I've been told this is THE place to be, to get all of the answers on everything S & W. I want to thank everyone in advance for the expertise, and assistance in helping me identify the model and year of my father's S & W 38 Special, that he carried in Korea...
