38-spc
Cartridge
The .38 Smith & Wesson Special (commonly .38 Special, .38 Spl, or .38 Spc, pronounced "thirty-eight special") is a rimmed, centerfire cartridge designed by Smith & Wesson. It is most commonly used in revolvers, although some semi-automatic pistols and carbines also use this round. The .38 Special was the standard service cartridge of most police departments in the United States from the 1920s to the early 1990s, and was also a common sidearm cartridge used by soldiers in World War I. In other parts of the world, it is known by its metric designation of 9×29.5mmR or 9.1×29mmR.
Noted for its accuracy and manageable recoil, the .38 Special remains the most popular revolver cartridge in the world more than a century after its introduction. It is used for target shooting, formal target competition, personal defense, and for hunting small game.

Seeking a couple boxes of each for a collection. Please let me know if you have any of these sitting around as they both have been discontinued.
Additionally, looking for a solid deal on 38spl target ammo (LRN, FMJ, etc) that is brass cased. Any brand is fine but no home reloads please.
Thank you!

Smith & Wesson 64 K-frame round butt revolver with 2 pcs heavy barrel. I believe this is a police trade-in, however, it does not have any police or corrections markings on it. Locks up nice and tight, mirror bore. Probably never got much use. It is a newer model judging by the "Hillary Hole" and...
