38 M and P, and an old Heiser. A match made in Heaven.

Beautiful combo.

I shot 4 cylinders, just enough to warm it up a bit. I have a routine with some of these beautiful guns, shoot with moderation (a few cylinders at a time), clean well, admire, repeat ..... at least on a monthly basis. I've stated many times before that these old revolvers get better with age!

And yes, it's got a tiny bit of a turn line - but to me, it's best that way!

Thanks for the info-I always wondered how quickly the turn line showed. I bought a beautiful nickel model 19, already had a light turn line. I shot 5 cylinders .38 specials in one session, cleaned it, and it has been sitting idle since. I did dry fire it with snap caps a bit to compare the action to my refurbished model 66 shooter. That one looks and shoots great now, and I don't worry at all about shooting it a bit.
Enjoy your M&P !!!

Beautiful M&P and holster

This thread caught my eye. One week before the initial posting I came across this .38 Special Hand Ejector M&P at a local gun show. While not in the same league as the like new M&P in the initial posting, I was attracted by the deep bluing and lanyard ring on this 75 year old gun (Serial #941XXX). With the later serial number, bright blue finish and no military markings I was surprised to see a lanyard ring. Was it common for there to be a lanyard ring on what appears to be a commercial firearm?

I don't know about the lanyard ring but that's one beautiful revolver! Enjoy it!

I believe it was an option available to the general public...may still be.
