I was off yesterday due to raiin and decided to hit the area pawn shops for deals. I ended up finding a Colt Police Posiitive in .38 SW. Production Date was in 1934. Little beat up, but fully functional with the original wood grips and gold Col medallions. I got it for 185 bucks. Any Colt under 300 is a good deal. Blueing is about 50 percent. I just got it to play with, not to resale. I think they still manufacture .38 SW, having trouble finding it though. I have a old box of Western with the "All New" lullaboy coated bullets, so its probably as old as the pistol. Any good tips where to get some of this ammo. I don't need a lot. I am going to check the area gunstores and Walmart. Any tips?
 
I wasn't familiar with that ammo so I googled it . It looks like it is still made, Fiocchi was mentioned as a maker. I bet you will only find it on the Internet.
 
This would be a great introductory caliber to Reloading

If you don't find any locally it appears to be pretty easy to get on the internet. Be sure to pick up a box of the Buffalo Bore in case you want to keep the gun in the nightstand or something.

It won't be a bed side gun. I prefer the 9mm and .12 ga. For that. Still its a cute prohibition gangster gun. Looks like it would be fun to shoot. I hear the have little recoil.
 
Winchester still makes it in small runs. I had a British Enfield revolver that shot 38 S&W. It is a pretty anemic round, but soft shooting.
 
I have the same S&W pistol from about the same manufacturing date. Inherited it from my Grandfather. I bought ammo on-line, still pretty cheap in price. Haven't shot it, but it looks to be in pretty good shape.
