[QUOTE="S&W 10, post: 1013874, member: 7355"] These old revolvers are from a pretty unique period in time, as double actions were just starting to become reliable and gain in popularity and open carry was going away in the few locations it was still allowed. It seemed like everyone jumped on the "belly gun" wagon; manufactures and consumers alike. .38 S&W ammo is still available and most is suitable for use in these older handguns. There are a few companies the sell light cowboy type loads specifically for this type of revolver, that are even lower pressure then those from the "Big Three". I've shot mine on several occasions and found it to be as accurate as most of my newer J frames; plus it's a hoot to actually shoot something like an old time lawman or outlaw may have used in their trade. Now that you know what it is, you might want to research the value on a few different firearms sales/auction sites, just to see what they are actually selling for; around here, at the local gun shows they seem to be priced to high as I see the same ones show after show. If you do decide to use it; please be sure to have it thoroughly checked by a competent gunsmith before you send any rounds down range. Like they say...[I]It's all fun, until someone gets hurt[/I]! ;) [/QUOTE]
