As mentioned above, possibly I've got the same malady, "Blue steel disease!" My buddy and I were at a GS this past weekend, I saw a Smith model 10, 4" HB, 85%, twice I came back and looked at it... came home without it!! I've kicked my arse since then, I had the monies, why I didn't pull the trigger, I don't know. There's another GS in Dec., possibly/hopefully it'll still be there, then Christmastime will be fulfilled. IF I get this, it'll be the 4th .38 Spl I've dragged home in 4 months, I sure hope this blue steel disease ain't like the clap and it gets worser ! I knew something was up when I bought some new bore brushes and barrel mops... danged GS's !
