No 6" Adj. Sight Smith .38s at Gun Show

For years and years, it seems that every time I've gone to a gun show, there's been an abundance of K-framed S&W .38 Special revolvers with adjustable sights. Well, I've finally decided that I want one, so of course now they've disappeared! I went to a gun show yesterday and there wasn't a single K-38 or 6" Model 14 there. There were plenty of 6" .44 Magnums and .357 Magnums and 4" .38s and even two 6" Model 17s, but none of the sub-$300 .38 target guns that once seemed so plentiful.

So, listen up, those of you who have them: they're not in style anymore. The .38 is out of date! It's feeble and old fashioned, a grandpa gun. What you really need is a shiny, new semiauto, or some stupendous hand cannon to impress your friends. Go sell your dusty, old .38 Smiths while you can still get a few dollars for them. ;)
 
Well, shucky darn. Since I am a grandpa, I guess I'll just use that as justification for hanging on to those two Colt Diamondbacks. I reckon my mother's K-frame stainless .38 with adj. sights and 4 inch barrel can stay on as a grandma's gun as well.

That may well be your problem - all those grandpas and grandmas have soaked up the available supply.

Drat! Those gun-hoarding geezers are foiling my plans. I can only hope that they'll be forced to sell some eventually to pay for their prescription drugs. :D
