I should have known better than to walk into a LGS today on my lunch hour. There, in the middle of it's integrated-lock cousins, distant Brazilian relatives and plastic hi-cap friends sat this drop-dead gorgeous model 14-4 with the 8-3/8" barrel, wearing immaculate target grips.
It was definitely love at first sight as it's mine now. Paid a bit more than I should, $495, but these never show up around here, and if they do, they are beat up. The bore light revealed a work of art that appears to have been lightly used and well cared for. Likewise the finish is an example that tells me S&W really did know how to do a remarkable blueing job if they wanted to.
I've always felt the .38 spc guns get less respect from the general gun buying public, maybe because the word "magnum" isn't in the caliber, I don't know. I've found these K38 guns to be a dream to shoot, and very accurate with an affordable round. Can't wait to put this one to work.
