I hope you enjoy this history lesson along with my two latest acquisitions. I borrowed some of this collateral material from friends on the S&W forum whose knowledge of these old war horses is second to none.
In the 1920's the police had problems.
One of the big ones was that bullet proof cars, glass and vests were becoming more and more common because of the wealth of gangsters at the time. The tried and true .38 Special, .45acp and lesser cartridges weren't doing the job, so what is a copper to do?
The solution was of course the .357 Magnum, but that came a few years later. In 1930 the solution was this: The .38/44 Heavy Duty.
1) Pre-War 1933
What is it though, really? Simply put, it's the most ridiculously over built .38 special of all time. This is an N Frame .38 special, a .44 magnum sized .38 Special. Heavy Duty was an understatement. The gun was built to take .38 special loads which were pretty much what we consider .357 magnum today.
2) Post-War Transitional 1946
