'Bout 20 years ago I picked up a 1966 vintage Model 38 in the distinctive MPS colors, blue frame and stainless cylinder.
I think I paid like $210 out the door and it became my carry gun. Went back to S&W once to get tuned up as it wasn't indexing well. Stuck a pair of CTC grips on it, sighted it in and.. That was that.
It spent a few years in my pocket, now I don't carry and it just spends its time in the cabinet.
The question is.. what was once a $210 disposable handgun seems to suddenly not be so worthless, and with some quick googling there seems to be some provenance behind the MPS guns.
Should I retire this from shooter status and just make it a safe queen?
