Wifes first gun

[daimondjim]

My wife saw this in our local GS, and liked the feel and trigger pull, and bought it. It is too big to CC, so now she just likes to fire it occasionally, and carries her new PT 22. (shich she also picked out). Research shows this to be a K-frame, mod 14-1, 1959, K38 Masterpiece, K4535XX, probably issued to a LEO, under the grips in Elect. pencil is (APD 1XX), also research showed that the Pachmayr grips (gripper professional) were probably original issue. Any corrections would be appreciated, but I did put a lot of research into it, and believe it to be right. Jim <>< ps [my first post on this forum)

Welcome to the Forum! You will find a lot of friends out here. The only thing I would mention is I don't think S&W ever issued any Model 15's with Pachmayr grips. Many PD's may have installed them when received, removing the original stocks.

Jim, welcome to the forum.

If you are having trouble posting pictures, check out this how-to thread:

http://smith-wessonforum.com/e...0103904/m/3011047303

It is not possible to post pics directly here. You have to have storage space at an image hosting service, and then you need to post links to the photos using the

tags.

One more ramble; I also found a duty basketweave belt and thumb break holster, in great condition for it. Jim <><
