OOH! AH!

Ya gonna shoot with it?

Wow!

Even refinished, that's some fair change right there! Very nice.

Very nice!
.38 ACP = .38 Auto, correct? (forerunner of the .38 Super?)
I have a box of Remington .38 Auto (not Super) ammo from the 80's that I grabbed up during a shortage.
130 FMJ IIRC.

Sweet! Love where the slide serrations are as well as where they are not!

I would really upload these images to the forum, rather than use Photobucket. First, Photobucked add their stupid and ugly overlay to pictures. Second, they are going to become unavailable soon.

Yes, a friend is giving it a tune-up since it's quite tight (probably hasn't been shot in a while) and will use the original .38 ACP auto and not 38 Super which is too hot for this pistol. Also, will try to get away from Photobucket and get nre photos.
