PGU-12/B .38spl anyone got pictures?

[CTG_COLLECTOR]

No, for most members it doesn't say anything at all! Not everyone, no matter how long they have been in the shooting sports is a "Cartridge Collector" that studies such obscurities!

Do I have to point out the obvious, that it shouldn't be necessary for anyone reading the OPs initial post to have to resort to "Google" to find out what he is asking about??? Or maybe he just read about this and doesn't really know what he is asking about? Maybe the OP should be the one "Googling" for an answer to his question instead of expecting others to do it for him!

And, FWIW, I knew exactly what he was asking about!

The OP was asking about a very specific product: PGU-12/B.

Now, above you posted that you "knew exactly what he was asking about " and yet you previously posted "Title doesn't say anything! What are you looking for? Did you mean PPU maybe?"

Why would you ask the OP if he meant "PPU" when you claim you knew exactly what he was asking about? Maybe you were questioning and/or testing the OP to see if he really knew what he was asking about?

I hope that even the least knowledgeable forum member would realize that the OP was asking about a very specific product and not a PPU product just because PGU may look/sound similar to PPU.

No matter. At least the OP has some reference photos and information about the PGU-12/B.

PGU 12/B is a reference to a very specific cartridge.

To those who know, there is no confusion.

It is a military designation for EXACTLY that cartridge and loading.

Head stamp says WCC 88. I'm surprised that it was made that late and by WCC...........

USAREUR, 1986, 1st Armored Division. The Air Force was still using .38 revolvers. The Brigade ALO and his team were attached to the Brigade Headquarters Company for billeting. Their weapons were stored in the unit Arms Room. They had a basic combat load of PGU-12/B.

Army helicopter pilots were still toting 38 revolvers and the Army was issuing them Ball, M41.

The M9 had been adopted a year earlier but it went to Infantry and MP units first. Many, if not most, tankers kept their 1911s and grease guns well into the Gulf.

.38 Special ammo issued in WWII didn't really have a military designation, other than .38 Special ball or tracer. At least the ball ammo came packed in regular Remington civilian 50 round boxes, but it had a 158 grain FMJ bullet. Easy to spot a box of the WWII Remington .38 Special military ammo. It has no index number in the lower right corner.

Title doesn't say anything! What are you looking for? Did you mean PPU maybe? A few extra words aren't that hard to type to clarify a question!

Or maybe, in your case, a few less...?
