Leanwolf,
The K-38 is from 1954 (S/N K217XXX), same year as me! (had to have it!<!--emo&--><img src="http://beartoothbullets.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=''><!--endemo--> Also, I do have a K-22 from '53 (K189XXX) to keep it company. <!--emo&--><img src="http://beartoothbullets.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=''><!--endemo--> They were made in the "good ol' days" when quality still mattered....... and yes, they're good shooters! (as were most of the S&W's from this time frame.) <!--emo&--><img src="http://beartoothbullets.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=''><!--endemo-->
I have other Smiths, up to the early 90's, and I really can't say anything bad about any of them. The only one I didn't like, was a 29 Classic with 8 3/8" barrel....... just too long for me. It was a good shooter though. Replaced it with a 5" 29 Classic, which is much better to carry in the woods. <!--emo&--><img src="http://beartoothbullets.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=''><!--endemo-->
