I really enjoy my K-38 with the custom grips, just installed another hand a few years ago (oversized) got this K-38 at a nice reduced price - the owner said it was broken and would not fire double action. Also like my Model 25 in 45 Colt. My S&W Russianicon 44 cal was made in Italyicon and sold by Navy Arms, took along time to make those fake pearl grips.
