I picked up a used one of these the other day. It's a .38 Special with the 4 3/4 inch barrel. It's one of the slickest little guns I've had in years. Anybody else shoot one?

Are they a full sized SAA?
No, they’re roughly the size of a Ruger Single Six .22.
Those are slick little guns. They are about 3/4 the size of a Colt SAA, just a smidge larger than a Ruger Single six. A CAS shooter of my acquaintance had a pair of them. He shot them very well and used them with a 357 carbine for his competition guns. They made some with birds head grips and shorter barrels, sort of like the Uberti "Thunderers." They are listed as available in a 32-20/32 HR combo package, as well as the 38 Special. I believe they were also available in 41 LC, but I've not seen one.
I would have liked a 5 1/2 incher in 32-20, but I don't think they ever made any, though they have advertised them as available from time to time.

I would love to see Ruger make a .38 Special single action about this size, even if it only held 5 shots.
Currently casting and loading: .32 Auto, .380 Auto, .38 Special, 9X19, .357 Magnum, .257 Roberts, 6.5 Creedmoor, .30 WCF, .308 WCF, .45-70.
I have a pair, and yes they are sweet to carry and shoot. Our standard load is DEWC crimped in crimp groove on top of 3.5 grs. of Unique or 3.4 grs of HP-38. Both shoot to the sights.

I take it that the Jr. P is load five and keep an empty hole under the hammer like the Colts?

I carry it with five in the cylinder. It has the frame mounted firing pin.
I love mine. I bought the 32-20 model with a second cylinder in 32 H&R Mag.
Mine is in 41 Colt. Fun to shoot.

There is no 'right' that requires me to work for you or you to work for me!
It's good to see I'm not alone on liking this gun. Finding a decent cross draw holster seems to be a problem. Any ideas on that?
Lot’s of custom makers will create just what you tell them you want. Often for less than the big companies.Originally Posted by Mr Peabody

Knowledge I take to my grave is wasted.
I prefer to use cartridges born before I was.
Success doesn't make me happy, being happy is what allows me to be successful.
