Curious

[pawncop]

Just wondering the percentage of Model 38 revolvers were shipped with the nickel plated finish?

I have an opportunity to acquire a very nice one from around 1977.

I have read a number bantered around, 10%.
Is it correct, I dont know.

 

[robertrwalsh]

In a very general way I have heard the same. I have never seen any actual numbers to know one way or the other. I suspect that is probably a reasonable guesstimate.

11.2%

Much like myself, my message was too short.

 

[gmborkovic]

Wait a minute! 11.2%, way out of line?

 

[stansdds]

I concur, 11.2% is way out of line. 11.187% is the more accurate number.*


* 70% of all statistics are made up on the spot by 64% of people that produce false statistics 54% of the time they produce them.

Dunno the numbers.

Do know they're great little poppers. Hell on wheels with 158 grain wadcutters.

Here's mine, box and all, unfired that was left to me by my Dad. It's no longer unfired.
