The .38 special is a wonderful target cartridge.
because a used model 10 can be had for a lot less than a used model 65.
Well said, goon.If someone picks up an old .38 and they get that feeling, then I say it is their duty as an American to buy that handgun.
Good point, BossSpearmanI find .357s too much of a pain to clean out after shooting .38s. I don't like the extra work I have to do on the cylinders. I've found sticking to a .38 revolver for .38 shooting to be much quicker and easier to clean afterward.
I believe that quite a number of years ago Smith and Wesson stopped using different length cylinders for .38 and .357 to save on manufacturing costs. I know that is true for Ruger also
Ruger never made a dedicated .38 spl revolver except the SP-101
