    Snubbies....Do You Gain Anything by Jumping Up to 357mag over 38 Special and +P ??

    The answer you seek is: M&P340 .38 Special +P Perfect balance. Retired cop here, one year ago. Thought I’d carry my Glock 43 mostly, but my new M&P340 shoots easily with any of the .38 Special +P short barrel loads. Don’t underestimate the need for smooth follow-up shots. And don’t fall for...

    Help with Roy Jinks Victory letter!

    Thanks, It came with checked grips but I do have a set of smooth grips. (I kinda hoped the letter would have said smooth grips) But actually I just want it be factory correct. I guess I'll never know for sure.

    Help with Roy Jinks Victory letter!

    Greetings all, I just got my S&W factory letter for my pre-victory revolver s/n 884896. It is, of course a United States Property marked .38 S&W caliber 5inch barreled revolver. I bought it with some checked grips which COULD be correct. I was hoping the letter would shed some light on...

    New to me Victory! NOW with cool PICS!

    It does have an importers stamp on the left side of the frame that says, "VEGA SAC CA" so I know it was imported by Vega out of Sacramento, CA. Mechanical conditon seems to be excellent, it is still in .38 S&W but the grips S/N is not matching. I'm going to get a letter for it.

    Arrgghhh, the grips don't match the S/N on the rest of the gun. The gun does look parkerized, I assume by the Aussies. The butt does have the US ordnance flaming bomb and WB. I will get pics up when I get back into town next week. Thanks. Any idea of value?

    New to me Victory! NOW with cool PICS!

    Well I just picked up a Victory in .38 S&W that came with 500 rounds of .38 S&W. It looks to have the usual 5" barrel, has "United States Property" on the top strap and has a pre-V serial number of 8848XX. It also has S&W checked grips which I believe are correct for this period. Has some...
