I'd feel 100% well armed with a .38 Service Six Ah yes. I remember the days of shooting perfect with the wheelgun but we had S&W 65s when I started in Corrections. Shooting a clean course with a Service Six is awesome shooting especially on a night course , and a 50 yard portion is pretty...

Thank You , I'm just gonna leave it , I think stuff like this is cool . The company , prison etc that used it was taking SA Sears off with a rasp to make them liability resistant DAOs so people couldn't cock them, it's like a little piece of weird history

It's a neat piece from back when there was a need for .38 Special only revolvers to meet legal or political demands, people look at you sideways, usually older people when they see one like this at a range like "oh yeah one of them Ruger .357s" no it's a .38

At this point I'm used to it being a Jim whacked rent a cop DAO , it's part of it's journey 😀 this gun probably tirelessly protected a hospital or chemical plant carried by 40 different people making $3 an hour

Don't sell them that low, unless it's to a family member or close friend Someone would pay you $450 each and flip em immediately, don't leave money on the table I'm not an expert so I can't add more than the people above who know way more about these , but I was also shocked that a new .357...

I have one in blue , they made a run for Lipseys I think in about 2018 , I've heard them called "Vaqueritos" Is the cylinder polished and the frame and barrel matte or does it just look like that in the picture?

I might need a few of these for some of my Rugers I have two Bowen sighs on two Blackhawks and despite the screws being blue Loc Tited down, the elevation screw and allen screw worked loose on both. I just finished wrenching them down. One more time and they're getting the Red loctite ...

I'd love to find a 38/44 HD, they're neat. A big N Frame fixed sight chambered for .38 Special is just something I'd love to own. I have a P&R'd Highway Patrolman that's cool but it's not 38-44 HD cool

I emailed the President trying to officially join a couple years ago and he didn't even reply 😀 it's like he's probably trying to tell me he knows me and to just keep using the club. He's seen me lose enough rounds of Turkey Shoot to basically pay for 50 years of membership anyway Nobody...

I've left some .44 Special and Magnum brass on the ground at my local , small gun club that my Dad is a member of, and they limit their membership to a small number to keep idiots out. They let me go up without my Dad to shoot as kind of a "proxy" member so I leave brass I don't need on a table...

All of these "Special" calibers were formerly Blackpowder Cartridges, the only reason a .357 case is what....about 1/32" longer is so that .357 won't chamber in a .38 .38 Long Colt is even shorter than a .38 Special, again because the cases held 25- 30 grains of blackpowder give or take...

You may ask why I own 10+ GP100s and Sixes chambered in .38 Special, and also an SP101. Including 2 "rare" adjustable sight GPs in .38 Just because they're neat and probably 90% of what goes through my .357s is .38 Special anyway. If I want to shoot .357 I have .357s I don't handload...

Yes, people tend to be upset when they get shot 😀 .327 is nasty, I have a .327 GP100 that rarely gets fired but I have a box of the Hydra Shoks that got wet when my basement flooded in the winter of '20, so I should probably fire them off .327 is like we all know just a .32 H&R Magnum, Magnum...

99% of the time it's some weirdo Incels like this that walk around "open carrying " rifles 😀😀 my one coworker who open carries his 1911 with like a 7 mag belt is a weirdo too That said, if it's done right and not over the top, doing like a "weak concealment " or kinda open but kinda concealed...

Awesome, I'm going to email them too
