I found a Smith and Wesson revolver today at a pawnshop that fit all my requirements as a "fun" range gun. I was looking for a .38 special with a pinned barrel, hopefully one with the prewar long action.
Well, I found a decent looking nickel refinshed Victory Model and bought it without second thought. The action is excellent and the lock up is like new.
Now, don't laugh. I should have looked harder, because, of course, sitting in my car in the parking lot, when I tried to chamber some rounds I learned I had just bought a gun in .38S&W, not .38 special.
So, besides the fact that my brain failed me the entire time I was buying the gun and that I'm a fool, what can I do with it now?
Is rechambering this gun to .38 Special possible? Should I just sell it (at quite a loss I'm sure)? Or should I just buy some dies and brass and roll my own and forget about what an idiot I am?
Thanks
