I ran into a windfall of reloading supplies for 38 special. I currently don't own one but have been kicking a lot of tires so to say. Anyway I like the classic look of the colt positive police and the Smith.
My intended purposes would be a range gun with non +P loads.
In idle discussions at the range with the usual suspects one causally suggested that in regards to both guns the Colt might be more difficult to get parts for in the event of a repair and the colt would not stand up to a steady diet of regular use as well as the Smith.
Is there any truth to that?
I've been looking at example of both guns in the $500-$600 range.
Many thanks for your insights
