That gun was not a transition .357, it was a 1950 model with standard diamond magnas.

Sorry to hear about these losses. Jim spearheaded the SC/NC S&WCA get-togethers for a couple of years. Great guy and a very knowledgeable collector.

I can get up-to-the-second news from around the world for free on my phone or computer. Newspapers make you pay for yesterdays news. Bad investment.

It's supposed to be there. That football shaped divot is called a Fouling Cup and was designed to catch black powder fouling, as black powder cartridges were still in use at that time.

I bought a Ruger RXM to compare with my Glock 19 but found that the sharp angle/line on the top rear of the slide was painful against my side when carrying inside the waistband. Sold it and kept my Glock.

I traded shots with a couple local thieves on that beach late one night after they stole the A/C unit from the projection room and were dragging it to the nearby village! We won, A/C recovered.

Couple times at the range other shooters would ask, "Can I shoot my rifle thru your chrono?" "Nope. But I'll shoot it for you." That way if it's destroyed it's my fault, not somebody else's.

Jack, I was working Base Police on Kadena that day, and remember hearing about the crash. We worked the base side, not the flightline, so I didn't actually see the plane.

We had several at Kadena AB Okinawa when I was there 1971-1973. Neat birds. They'd take off, then climb straight up until they were out of sight.

Here's a kid wearing a Safariland Model 25 holster with a Model 15 .38 Combat Masterpiece:

I believe the "MD/FR" denotes Medium Frame. Probably fits K frame S&W and comparable Colt frames.

Did the same thing to me. I chose to remain blocked.

Possibly Art Jewel Enterprises "AJE" which sold Sambar stag grips made in India.

Military & Police model in .38 Smith & Wesson Special caliber. The "C" serial number prefix indicates late 1940's/early 1950's manufacture.

It is a very early (probably 1946) post-WWII transitional .38 M&P. It has the large ejector rod knob, and a one-line address on the right side. Nice score for that price.

I once owned S 70066, shipped August 30, 1946, to Ed. Brendamour Co., Cincinnati, OH.

Pretty early Model 39-2. Someone may have swapped the slide from a nickel gun, or refinished the blued slide. Not a bad price either way.

I've had several modded Seikos from Yobokies (Harold Ng) in Hong Kong. Picked out the parts I wanted from his options menus and got exactly what I wanted.

I've read all of his books, got most of them on my bookshelf in hardback. As a young cop in the 1970s I enjoyed them immensely. RIP; you gave me a lot of reading enjoyment.

I use a roll of duct tape.
