How many of you have 38 special revolvers

[THE PILGRIM]

Have several.
I almost posted my Model 60 as the one I’ve had the longest,
Then remembered.
I’ve had this one the longest.

 

[Marshal Tom]

four dedicated .38 and seven in .357, so eleven altogether. Never owned a model 10 until recently, not sure why.

 

[Ivan the Butcher]

8-38 specials, 9-38 S&W's, and 4-357's, 1-38 Super, & 1-357 Sig.

I have a 64-2 with 2 in bbl in .38 special. That's all that I shoot in my .357's also. Just love the .38 special.

 

[diecidecimi]

k14 & Diamondback

Considering only .38 spa, and not .357, I have these two. I love them.
Sorry for the Pachs wearing here, she has all his factory stuff


and the Masterpiece

 

[3rdgeargrndrr]

I too would really like to know what members here DONT have a smith that shoots 38spl.

 

[rogerwnuss]

HB nickel and a Royal Hong Kong Police.....big fun.
And of course, there's the odd Colt in the mix...oh, I forgot the 36 no dash and the 642-1.....

 

[MetalMan]

5 J’s (2 x Mod. 36 / 3 x Mod. 60) and 2 K’s (Mod. 19 / Mod. 66) for me…

This 60ND is current EDC…

 

[csurp34]

My five are not shooters.


Going to have to change that.


36, 36, 60, 60-7, 64-2.

.38 S&W Special is a terrific caliber. You cannot go wrong with this caliber for plinking at the range with wadcutters, or for self defense with a JHP.

I have several revolvers chambered in .38 Special, including:

Model 14-3 6"
Model 15-2 4"
Model 38-2 2"
Model 64 No dash 4"
Model 67-1 4"
Model 638 No dash 2"
Model 642 No dash 2"

My 38-2 and 642 are my every day carry guns.

The others are occasional shooters at the range.

Enjoy your .38 Specials, and your search for more!

 

[Sevens]

In all my gunning life (owning for a hair over three decades) I've own a sum total of TWO J-frames and J-frames are not for me, I cannot imagine there even being a third example to appear in my collection.

K-frame S&W chambered in .38 Special however, I'm at or near a dozen.

I love shooting K-frames on any range day. I don't care to go about armed with a revolver. I understand that others do and I respect that. If I did care to carry a revolver, I would probably revisit the J-frame.

But for shooting .38 Special, man I dig a K-frame!

 

[Jackcpat]

.38 Special

2 five inch M&Ps, 3 Combat Masterpieces, 2 Masterpieces (14-3), 1 Model 60 ND, and a 3 inch Ruger. Love the caliber.

 

[OLDSTER]

Only two .38 sp. revolvers. My birth year 1947 factory nickel 4" M&P. And an old Bridgeport Charter Arms Undercover.

 

[glenwolde]

A model 15, model 14, vintage Colt Agent and 4" Taurus model 83.

Plus .357's ... a 6" model 66 and a Ruger Stainless Blackhawk Convertible.

 

[DEP801]

For many years as a LEO it was the Model 15 on duty, and the Model 60 for EDC.
Then the mandated switch to semi-autos. They work, but they'll never be the works of art of those revolvers.

 

[heeter3]

I have 10 Martinn67 and love them all.I rotate the 2in and 3 in snubs monthly for my edc and shoot the 4 and 6 inchers monthly.Nothing better than a .38 special and your 64 sounds like a sweet heart.Enjoy the heck out of it and what a bonus getting to do it with your family.Im sure you are that 12 year old grandsons hero.

 

[Truckman]

I would love to see a poll of all regular posters here as to which of us has a .38 Special!

I'm pretty sure it would be far easier to total the small number of us who don't own at least one .38......Ben

 

[LPD256]

I plead the fifth in case my wife reads this.

 

[oldman10mm]

Just one, a 36-1 3" HB bought new way back.

 

[elm_creek_smith]

I have a blued 2" S&W Model 12-2 Airweight (K-frame) shipped in 1963 that served as my backup for the last few years of my badge-toting days. It's in honorable retirement in my safe.

It has been replaced with an oxide-finished 2" Taurus 856 with Galloway Precision spring kit, a Hogue Monogrip, with an Ameriglo night sight on the way.

Sharing time with the Taurus 856 is my .357 Magnum 4" S&W Model 65-1. If I'm home, it's loaded with Federal .38 Special +P 130 grain Micro HSTs just like the Taurus (& they can use the same speedloaders!). Reloads at home are Winchester .38 Special 130 grain "Defend" JHPs because the HSTs have no ogive to guide the rounds into the chamber.
