T/C Contender with 12" .357Max barrel, followed by a Handi also in .357Max. Lots of load options.

That is one cool rig!Originally Posted by GLL
This is an old .38/44 Outdoorsman (long-action 1948 transitional) that someone shortened from 6.5".
BIG FUN !

Now, I like that sixgun, I really do!
Disclaimer: The above is not holy writ. It is just my opinion based on my experience and knowledge. Your mileage may vary.
The .38 spl. is one of my favorites. I love shooting my S&W model 14-4 w/8.375" bl. or my S&W model 10-7 w/4" bl. But by far the most fun would be my Rossi 92 in 38/357.
My Uberti replica of a S&W New Model #3 Top Break is chambered in 38 Special.
It is the most fun to shoot of all my 38's.
thats an easy one. for a handgun a model 15 smith. For a rifle a marlin 94 cowboy.
Another vote for the S&W Model 52 in a pistol. For a rifle a marlin 94 cowboy.
Anything that can handle a case full of 2400. I like to refer to 38/44 loads as what the .38 was meant to be! Although they aren't too bad for target shooting with a little BE either...
Dang near 70 posts and not one mention of my choice - a Colt Diamondback.
My late 1970's Dan Wesson 15-2. Shoot soup can lids all day long at 40 yards.
Like deadwooddan I really like the looks of the S&W model 52 and I am off looking for one!I loved my Smith and Wesson model 52.
I have 2.... My Dan Wesson gold series with the loooong barrel and a model 97 freedom arms. If it's accurate it's fun
Our house is protected by the Good Lord and a gun and you might meet them both if you show up here not welcome son!
I will double that and raise you one. I don't have one but I sure wish I did. I shot one a long time ago that belonged to my older brother and it was one cool pistol to shoot, and it was very accurate.I loved my Smith and Wesson model 52.
It's a toss up for me between my 1910 Colt 6" Army Special and my 1952 5" Smith M & P pre 10
Hi...
My favorite .38Spl is a Cimarron Mason-Richards open-top conversion.
Brass strap,case-colored...great fun!
How about an old sherriff's sawed off model 10 with the sight set back, rusted on the fleshy hip side from pants carry, and a pitted bore. Danged ugliest gun I own, is crazy accurate, never leads.
It's just not right.
Salvaging old Marlins is not a pasttime...it's a passion
Rifle wise it would be my IMI Timberwolf
+1 on the. 38/.357 Cadet Martini. I put Unertl blocks on mine and occasionally usd a 4x straight tube Small Game Scope to pot groundhogs, etc.
my wife's colt python when I can talk her into letting me play with it. My S&W 686 ain't bad either. Both are 4inchers.
Another vote for the model 14. I can load it for my kids to plink, carry if I choose (6 inch bbl is a bit much for me unless open carry), compete (NRA Distinguished Revolver), teach and train. It reaches out to 50 yards with fine accuracy (less than 3 inch 10shot groups) and is pretty easy to clean and maintain (parts available although discontinued production). No one of these factors makes it an amazing firearm. But put together, these are all positive factors that make it a hoot to shoot.
