Found something on Gunbroker that looks interesting. I'm not sure if I've seen this before or not, at least this is the first time I really noticed one. If I had one or two other guns to fill in a couple holes and was more in the market for a want (esp. since I just bought one that didn't fit a hole and was "just" a want) I might have bid on it. However, this isn't a good time. In case anyone else is interested, or even if not I am curious about this gun so I'd love to learn about it, here is the link to the auction:
http://gunbroker.com/auction/ViewItem.asp?Item=8313346
The auction title says: "Smith & Wesson Mod. 38/32 Terrier .38 S&W"
What is a M38/32 Terrier? Never heard of it (not that this means anything). Appears to be a pretty standard J-frame but in .38S&W. When were these made? Any collectors value? How rare/common are they? Any good for defense? Now I know, .38S&W is underpowered but maybe for someone who wants lower recoil- it makes a bigger hole than .32mag or .22lr/mag and presumably has less recoil than .38spl and certainly less than +P.
Anyway, I would be interested in learning about this interesting looking gun (and maybe later when I am in the market for a "want" instead of filling two holes in the handgun and serveral in the rifle "collection" I may be interested in picking up one). Also, for those who might be interested I figured I'd put it out there for you. As of now (Tues, April 15th, tax day) it looks like a new auction, there are 8 days left in the auction.
