Ken O`Neil mentioned gun writer Terry Murbach in another post and I wanted to give him credit for S&W`s introduction of their
3" heavy lug barreled J-frame. The gun is now made in 357 but when I bought it the chamber was made for 38 special +P. Terry had taken a older fixed sight 3" j-frame in 38 and installed a adjustable rear and called it his "Trail Masterpiece". My stainless gun is amazingly accurate at 25 yards with Remington`s 158gr LSWC-HP+P ammo and has been used to finish off a few whitetail using Norma`s 158gr FMJ-SWC bullet...When ridding in a belt holster you don`t even know its there and the stainless steel makes it almost indestructible thus living up to its name of "Trail Masterpiece"... Thank you for a fine handgun Terry Murbach....
PS- this information is for all the members that are old enough to know and all the other members who are to young to remember who Terry Murbach is....
