Just picked it up today. Sorry, can't do pictures. But it sure is beautiful. Took it to the range immediately and was amazed at how stable it was in terms of recoil and accuracy. Great carry gun. Just wanted to share. :)
 
Mine is my "always" gun. Just stick it in your pocket and go.
If you haven't seen Ed Lovette's The Snubby Revolver you should. Excellent book.
 
When I'm not shooting 130gr or 158gr standard loads I shoot 158gr LHP +Ps. They work just fine with no bad recoil. The 125gr +P loads are something I try to avoid.
 
I am still on the lookout for a clean M38. My 37 is fantastic, but I would like the shroud...

Great guns.
 
If you want to shroud your M37 look on ebay for a set of Bianchi Lightning J frame grips. You can usually find them for under $20 for new. It won't turn your M37 into a M38 but it's the next best thing.

My M38 is my constant companion. It's the ultimate pocket gun. KY Imports has one now for $189, 2" Blue Barrel, Stainless Cylinder, No Grips Included, (Used Needs Internal Work). I thought about it, but finally backed off. If I could see the frame in person, I might try to haggle them down a bit and buy it.
