Another visit with the Little Old Lady from Cleveland

Post by 2ndovc »

The Gal I bought the 586 and Vaquero came up with a couple more revolvers I couldn't pass up.

Both are Marked Royal Hong Kong Police. The Colt is a .38 S&W and the Smith is .38 Spl from a later order.
They are in good shape and in need of a serious cleaning. I don't think the guy ever cleaned anything. :shock:
Though, I don't think he shot these as much. The bores aren't full of lead like the others.

Great to be able to load the .38 S&W to its full potential.
Slug the bore. If it is like my "Police Positive" it will be a true .357.

Jason, I had fun with a RHKP Webley in .38 S&W. It wanted to shoot very nicely with a .362 cast bullet. Yes, do slug your bores.

Yep,

Been reloading the .38 S&W for a long time. I had a dozen Webleys and Enfield revolvers years ago. Matt's Bullets has the perfect .38-200 bullet that I've been using for a while now. Need to order some more, along with some .455s.

I was looking them over again this morning and noticed that neither one has an import mark. Interesting...
