A new acquisition! AC44 Walther P-38!

Original or after-market S&W 39 mags are pretty much identical and should plug straight in. Might work for "shooter" mags.

I had heard that Smith and Wesson started with a P38 magazine when they designed the P38. Very interesting.

You mean when they designed the S&W 39...yes, that's right.

I checked the bore, and actually found it was bright and shiny, and the rifling was crisp!

That's not so unusual...it's what we advocate around here. Shoot and clean again, see what's happening.

Brain f@rt! Thanks.

Makes sense. When I cleaned it first time before shooting, it didn't look as good as it does now, but I did not scrub it as hard, either. Looks to have been carried a lot, but shot seldom, which is typical of an officer's side arm.
