So in a previous thread I asked for opinions on getting a M14, or a M15, or a M19. You all convinced me that the 14 was the better option.
When I went to pick it up, I opened the cylinder to check for empty chambers and what dash number it might be.
To my surprise it was not a 14, but actually a K38. It has a SN of K75xxx which puts it solidly in the 1949 ship date.
It's a 5 screw, with all of the numbers matching, in very good condition.
Exactly what I needed to add to my collection. I haven't fired it yet, but hope to get time this week.
Here are some pics, solo and with its cousin, my 17-2.
Now to score a K32 to complete the trifecta!!!
The one with target grips is the 17.
I happened to pick up some factory target grips a couple of months ago that will be placed on the K38.
