Not in Oklahoma!
Hard for me to grasp this guy beating on the extractor with a steel faced hammer.

Or the time he uses the steel face of his screwdriver beating on the revolver frame to get the one spring out!

I cringed many times!

Maybe I am too fussy, but I would not want him working on mine!

Good timing for me. I recently picked up a replacement cylinder for an old S&W M&P in 38/200. It’s not exactly a drop in fit.
I got lucky. Had a 38/200 that had been drilled out for 38spl. Found a cylinder on eBay and it dropped right in. Shot the heck out of it before I traded it off

Nice! That’s what I’ve got. I’ve read that many of those S&W 38/200 chambered guns were “converted” to 38 SPL when they were imported to the US. Mine has been polished and blued, not very nicely either.
