I'll bet one can actually get .44 Special rounds right now.... I put CTC laser grips on my carry revolvers.....come in handy when it's dark. Also great for driving the neighbor's cat mad....don't ask how I know this. Point out the issues, try and talk the owner down. It's worked for me before!

I wish them luck too. On the subject of the lock, one can plug it although Massad Ayoob is against it because non-gun people end up on juries. I found two Model 638-2's (638-3 started the lock) fairly easily and didn't pay more than $350.00 for either and I think one was $250.00. Both shoot...

Of course, a gunsmith should be able to fix that pretty quickly.

You feel a burr? If so, could you remove that with some emery cloth?

I hope to pick up my new-to-me Model 38-2 in about a week. I may carry it, if I can spare the ammo to test it out. Currently I pack a Model 638-2 but I much prefer the older style hammer spur. Anyone here carry a Model 38?

That's a good one! :p

Get them both!

That would be nice.....can anyone suggest a gunsmith to do that? The J-frame is a 5-shot .38 cylinder pushed into a .32 caliber frame. If CTC made laser grips for a Colt Agent / Cobra....I'd have that in my pocket over a J-frame. That's the only reason I haven't switched to a Colt.

Ha! Got ya'll beat..... I ditched the smartphone in 2014 and went back to a flip phone. I never used any apps and never needed anything more than a map and road signs. I typically don't own things I am opposed to, so never getting a smartphone if I can help it. Smartphones and social media...

If certain things happen in the Senate and Supreme Court....this "will pass" on a whole new level.

The only improvements I'd do for a J-frame are these: Full lug barrel---by that I mean "shrouded ejector rod." Longer ejection rod. Bigger hammer spur (638.etc.) 6-shot cylinder. So basically turn it into a Colt Agent.

Seldom good for a big company to buy a smaller company....hate to hear CTC is no longer its own company. I never paid attention to their battery offer....I thought it was silly since their batteries last years in my carry gun. I think I've replaced the battery once in 9 years? I love CTC...

I went to an IDPA match in 2001 where a uniformed officer showed up to compete with his carry arms. He was the only competitor to shoot a hostage. On the plus side he was so impressed with my Browning Hi Power he said he would start carrying one. Good looking 29 you have there....and KUDOS...

When I traveled abroad in 1997, I got a print out from the CDC on what vaccinations I needed (southern Asia). Included was advice "avoid all political gatherings / protests." I'd do the same in the US, especially now. In fact, if I was driving north to ski (not this year) I'd avoid all large...

Scored a 38-2 today....if she shoots well I'll start carrying her. I really like the larger hammer spur of the earlier guns. I think a steel (49 or 649) is just too heavy for pocket carry, which is how I carry most of the time. Khaki pants, Desantis Nemesis pocket holster. Crimson Trace...
