~ S&W Model 52 ~ .38 Master

I bought this beauty a couple weeks ago and I’m sneaking it in just under the October deadline. This pistol is to replace the one I sadly and foolishly sold many moons ago. I didn’t think I would be able to find one in excellent shape for less than a grand but with luck and a few prayers I was able to grab this one. I want to thank NES also, that’s where it was advertised for sale. It’s like finding a long lost friend.

The S&W 52 is a super accurate pistol that the company put extra pains in making sure it was finely tuned and tested for peak accuracy before leaving the factory. The barrel bushing is adjustable so that even with some wear through the years it will still adjust up very snuggly around the barrel.​

The S&W 52 is exclusively meant to shoot the .38 special, full wadcutter with mid-range loads only. At the range I had forgotten just how unforgiving this pistol can be if you are the least bit off with the principals of shooting!​

Now all I have to do is get to the range more often and hopefully become more proficient with this long lost pistol and I’ll be doing all right.​

Lewis,

Which 9mm rounds are those? Is that the new PDX?

They are Remington Golden Sabers
