Building a 73 Winchester from parts and having had neither i have a strange attraction to the 38-40.
I guess maybe the sudden love affair of the 40 S&W over my previous number 1 pistol chamber ... the 45 ACP began my openness to new chambers.
Always thought the 44 WCF would be my choice but upon mulling it over i really think the 40 cal of the 38 WCF is calling my name.
So is the 38 the choice it seems or am i missing the boat somewhere?
Uses for my new build will be mostly target, plinking at targets of opportunity and small game hunting ... tree rats, rabbits, grouse and quail with the occasional western Oregon blacktail deer.
Thanks for the opinions.
