I am not "an old guy" so to speak. I grew up with 80s action flicks, wonder nines, HKs etc. That said DAMN I LOVE ME A GOOD REVOLVER. Not only do they just exude class there is something so satisfyingly mechanical about shooting them, loading them etc. Even speed loaders are just sort of cool to me. You could give me that gun and a speed loader or two and I would feel perfectly adequately armed as well. That is a beautiful piece. Enjoy it in good health. "Guns are tools.

Very nice K-38! I expect it will shoot as good as it looks--If it was mine, I'd next work on replacing those 80's Grips with something more akin to what it was wearing when it left 2100 Roosevelt Ave. for the first time...  | |||

Yeah, the grips were put on in 1995. I have a set of target grips at my brother's house going on it. I can either put these away for safe keeping or sell them. ____________________________ Eeewwww, don't touch it! Here, poke at it with this stick. | |||

Sweet! My hubby has his grandfathers police model 15, and it’s got the best trigger ever. Awesome revolver, definitely an heirloom for us. Congrats on your purchase! | |||

Nice find! If your serial number starts with "K" then it was most likely born before 1970. | |||

Might be more period correct with S&W magna stocks and grip adapter. Nice M-15 reminds me of USAF issue. | |||

Wowser! A few years ago I picked up a nice Winchester 30-06 at a pawn shop that a grandson sold. You have a very nice score there. | |||

My small town department had us purchase our own sidearms. Had to be a .38 Special or .357 revolver. Department issued us Remington .38 +P ammunition. I first caried a Model 15 like yours. Like many I put on Pacmeyers and saved the wood grips. Later had the chance to get in on the department purchase of SW M-66s. I still have both and shoot them regularly, though I have to admit, not as often as I liked this past couple of years. | |||

Mars: A fine S&W revolver like that demands the real thing...  Recommend Ken Driskill (as above) over on the S&W forum (bigmtnman) or Grashorn grips. Adios, Pizza Bob NRA Benefactor Member | |||

Nice- I love the grain in the target grips. I'd keep them on the gun if it was me. | |||

I started shooting with one of those. It was from the '60s, got it from a local cop when I was 15, the legal minimum to possess one. It was a great gun, sorry I ever got rid of it. My grips were the smaller old style type that fit the frame contours. When I was in high school, used to go to abandoned farms with my buddy who drove a '38 Chevy pick up. Thanks for giving me the moment to remember. ************* MAGA | |||

Slightly OT, but I gotta ask... If you buy a used Smith like this, and wanted a different barrel length......... I've seen several used gun-parts vendors on-line which sell k-frame barrels. How big of a project would it be to get a different length barrel and install it? It /looks/ like it's just a matter of removing a pin (if present) and unscrewing the thing and screwing the new one on and replacing the pin. but it can't be that straightforward or others would be doing this all the time to get those coveted barrel lengths that everyone wants. . | |||

It's not. The barrel has to be fitted and cylinder gap set. Best leave it to a good smith. ____________________________ Eeewwww, don't touch it! Here, poke at it with this stick. | |||
