K38 Combat Masterpiece
Here is a K38 Combat Masterpiece that I picked up for $350. It has some wear and the original box. Shoots good too!

Nice gun, nice shooting! That's a good price, too.
You didn't ask, but with a serial number in the K200000 range, the gun probably dates from 1954, maybe 1955.

The K-38 is my favorite of all the K frames. Feels good in the hand, excellent pointability, balance and accurate. Congratulations on your new acquisition, I think you did very well on the package for that price.
Cheers;

K38
Very nice shootable package in my favorite caliber! And just the right patina of use and experience to give it real credibility!
May we inquire the range at which groups shot, whether rested and what load?
Many Thanks.

Very nice, and one of the last 5-screw CM's made. I'm basing that on the fact I have SN.281xxx and it's a 4-screw.

Just traded for my current CM. Got it at the Yuma Show about a month ago. Dates to 1952, the year Dad moved us to Arizona.
