  • 1972 S&W: Too Nice To Shoot?

    K-38 Combat Masterpiece: 14-3

    Well, the "to shoot or collect" question got answered today

    sighted in at 50yds for silhouette matches

    Final adjustments put 6 rounds in the 11 o'clock position after shooting low right.

    Guns were made to be shot.
    Particularly the fine ones.

    Well Done!

      sure is a purdy gun. Just sayin.
      . My PM9 has over 34,000+ rounds through it, and runs much better than an illegal trying to get across our border

        Shoot it like you stole it. S&W made way to many of them for them to have much collector value now. Maybe in a century or two.

          Now, that's the truth.

          Nothing really rare about my 14-3.

          Unusual? yes
          Pretty? yes
          Complete kit? yes
          SHOOT IT? YES!

            I'd shoot it but I'd be dang careful doing it. Too pretty to get all banged up.

            I'm not terribly abusive on any gun but I'm very tender with some.

            I rarely bring good stuff into the dept for show and tell anymore. The instructors always want to go into malfunction drills, and speed reloads and generally be obnoxious. Wouldn't know a fine firearm if they tripped over it.

              I did take extra care cleaning it this evening.

              But I do that with all my stuff.

              Years ago I got the stepdaughter off on the right foot about detailing the cars.

                Shoot it, care for it, don't mind a little wear... if you're not "collecting" then you should definitely be shooting.

                  I don't have one safe queen... even my minty 1962 Model 10 gets shot... gently, mind you, but it holds it's place in the safe.

                    nothing a good sharp file and some 60 grit sandpaper couldn't fix....THEN you would have a 100% guaranteed shooter

                    I like shooters

                        \u oputtaq be damn proud of ur daughter for keeping her car detailed. Very few women take care of their car. I guess tothem it is just raansportation and I guess also that theyt feel if they have a man around he swhold do it. Mydaughters car looks and definitely is a real pig pen, she is not a litter bug for I think every fokking peace of trash in the last 6 years is in that car. WhenI drive tosee here in Florida, I park away from the vehicle even, as I don't want my clean vehicles to catch the "trash cold". Just sayin

                        PS u might tellyour daughtrer, she missed a spor on the right side of that door handel!!!!! Just sayn

                          I have some old guns with alot of rounds thru them that still look fairly new. It can be done But, I'll agree with the crowd here and just say...

                          Shoot it!

                          I was once asked if I was "a paranoid for carrying my Kahr".
                          "Nope" I said, "just prepared".
                          " prepared for what" he asked?
                          "more stuff than you are"
