!!! Great photo and the difference in the hammers and triggers on the 4" K-38 and the 4" Model 15-3 show distinctly. now that I've wiped the drool off of my keyboard, I can attempt to type a reply of sorts. Maybe if I can get that 66 I'll be satisfied for a day or two. It was one of my favorite revolvers I've ever had a chance to use. My dad bought a K-38 Masterpiece right after I was born, at Cullen and Boren in Dallas. I fired of an email to an acquaintance of mine who owns a pawn shop just a few minutes ago to ask if he still had a 4 inch S&W 66 (no dash) in inventory immediately after reading this post. Pictured at right are a Model 15-3 Combat Masterpiece from about 1974, a "two T" five screw Smith & Wesson K-38 Combat Masterpiece circa early 1950s, and a Smith & Wesson Model 15-9 from 2002.Įvil. 38 caliber K framed revolvers were called Model 15's. The K-38 Target Masterpiece became the Model 14, and the K-38 Combat Masterpiece became the Model 15. In 1957, all Smith & Wesson revolvers were given numerical model numbers. Whereas the old M&P had been a duty gun often pressed into target use, the K-38 Combat Masterpiece was a target gun suitable for duty use. The K-38 Combat Masterpiece rocked the police shooting competitions. Smith & Wesson was quick to honor this request, and the K-38 Combat Masterpiece was born. The FBI and police departments around the country soon requested the same revolver with a four inch barrel and a Baughman Quick Draw front sight. Smith & Wesson dubbed their new revolver the K-38 Target Masterpiece. It was a six inch model, made for target shooting.

Occasionally a man might have a gunsmith install adjustable sights.Īfter WWII, Smith & Wesson finally took notice of this trend, and eager to offer new products, they added a target sighted 38 Special K frame revolver to their line. Target sights were an option on the Model of 1905, but were rarely ordered. The Model 15 has a long and storied history, starting with the Model of 1899 and the Military and Police revolver. It's an exceptionally shootable revolver, precisely accurate with a rare trigger of exquisite smoothness. The Smith & Wesson Model 15 is one of my favorite all around revolvers.
