M&P .38 gift

[rufrdr]

I was gifted a C series M&P .38 special this past weekend. 6" barrel, target hammer and grooved trigger. Bore and chambers are spotless and lock up is tight. Finish shows a lot of holster wear.

No questions, just wanted to share my good fortune in having this land in my hands!

Pretty neat to get a free gun, and not bad at all especially for free.

And with a factory target hammer! That may have been ordered on the gun when sold new, but more likely added later.

My word! Congratulations. I wish I ran in your circle. These treasures are finer gifts than money, money is made every day (adnauseum by this government). Enjoy and shake the givers wand - she did indentifiey herself as your Fairy God Mother...right?

My father gave me his 6" M&P (.38) that shipped in June of 1919. He was close to 90 at the time. It shoots well still. I gave it to my oldest son a few years back. Congratulations on your "freebie" Bob

From the ramped front sight and the sharp-shoulder Magnas, I'd guess it's from about 1952-53. I'd agree it probably received a hammer transplant sometime later, a simple task. For free, and as long as it works OK, who cares?

Very , very nice gift. Congratulations.
