One of mine is a '60's model 32 Smith & Wesson that belonged to an uncle of mine that collected numbers in Nashville and Detroit . It was his daily carry and is now one of mine. He carried factory RN .38 S&W loads but I carry a stiff load of Herco with a 135 grain GDGP SB . My other short daily Carry revolver is a Colt Cobra .38 Special of a similar vintage that uses the same bullet with a warmish load of Longshot .
