After shooting automatics,all year,i dug out my 8 3/8ths model 14,,and relived goodtimes!!long live the wheel guns!
Well...yeah...they've never gone away! I was just thinking about a couple-a-few today that I'm fond of. I'll show you a couple of them:
I was shooting my 1956 4" K-38 yesterday. The Lee 105 swc powder coated and sized to .357 for the cylinder throats over 4 gr. Bullseye go into one hole. Really fun little gun. Been looking for a 6 or 8" one.

Was shooting that same boolit today!!
Only im a lube guy,,and i use clays,powder.
That is 1 accurate boolit!!
here's an old coppers gun dating from 1950-1951. It shoots straight with standard velocity 38 Special 158 RN cartridges or with the 358-311 over 3.5 Bullseye or 4.0 grains of WW-231

There is a reason the loads you mention are considered classics. They work well in just about any revolver chambered for the 38 Special.Originally Posted by rintinglen

I work hard and spend a lot of time to get my pistol shooting consistent and accurate(by my standards), but I love shooting my revolvers.
Thumbs up to wheel guns!!!!
Amen.
I've been shooting my wheel guns quite a bit lately myself. I think I'm going to try my hand at deer hunting this year during the alternate method season.
I've been buying a bunch more this year and shooting them a lot. DA and SA, anything from a snubbie to longer barrels. If I won the lottery I'd have one of everything.
They're still my first choice, SA or DA.

I was just eyeing my Combat Magnum and thinking about showing its been since I shot it as I have been shooting 38sp and 45LC. Guess the neighbors will hear some boom tomorrow when I get off work

I've a six inch Model 14, I guess the 6" is my favorite .38Spl bbl length, if I'm not shooting it, then it's my Colt OP or M10 w/6" bbl's.

Happiness is a Warm GUN & more ammo to shoot in it.

Is there another type of handgun?
Here's one that is a favorite of mine. A GP 100 44 Spl. with compact grips from Altamount.

I just keep them around for driving nails,,
This one is for No Trespassing sign tacks,,
and, this one for driving barb wire fence staples,,
It is also handy for enforcing the No Trespassing signs,, when necessary,,
