how does that pipe shoot?
Well, his is nickel (or stainless... can't remember, but he'll correct me) with wood grips. Mine is aluminum with a stainless cylinder and barrel with rubber hogue grips.
It's fine and all, but I prefer the classic look (if you haven't noticed, lol).
If you want to come to Tulsa, you're welcome to bring some ammo and shoot the snot out of it.
Trax has the 638...silvery/aluminum frame, stainless barrel, wheel and crane. Mine is from 1985, when they still used the glossy/shiny blue/black finish and it wears walnut boot grips.
AND NO STINKIN' LOCK!!!

whine, whine, whine.... it's just a lock! Just don't use it!
Well everyone seems to just love those alloy guns. I have no faith in them from all the ones, mostly the blued models(Older ones), and the newer ones with the MIM and locks, well you couldn't pay me enough to take it. JMHO!
Now to me steel in a J-frame is the only way to go, come on, their not that heavy, all you guys toting 1911's, and your glocks with full mags weigh two to three times what that all steel J-frame weighs. In a small gun like that, its meant for "Bad Breath" distance, your not going to have time to cock that hammer. Its a gun your going to draw and fire. Your going to put in more practice with an all steel J-frame than you are that alloy gun. These guns need to be shot, and shot alot to become good with it. Don't believe me, go to the range, load her up, back up to 10yds, draw one handed, fire five rounds as fast as you can, and see if you can put all five into a ten inch circle. This is what you should be shooting for with these. Can you shoot farther, with practice you can, but it takes practice.

GED, can your M38 handle 38 Spl + P? I'm curious about your ammo choice.
Well, it's loaded with them right now (Speer "Short Barrel" 135gr +P Gold Dots) and so is my Bianchi speed strip that I tote along with it in my other pocket.
But for range use, I just shoot standard loads.
You can use them for when you mean business
, but I certainly wouldn't give it a steady diet of +P 
. Load up some easy shootin' 125grn alloys to plink and get salty with. Like GED, I shoot +P GD 135's.
Have any of you tried the Buffalo Bore Standard pressure 38 spl short barrel rounds? I posted this same question in the ammunition section but didn't get any response.
