Im new to DA revolvers. I have some questions about a piece I bought a while back part of an estate sale. First the particulars:
- Model 14-3 in .38 S&W SPECIAL CTG
- SN: 6K9XXXX
- 5 ¾ bbl
- Adjustable rear sight
- Grooved back strap, trigger face and bbl top
- Crosshatched and wide hammer spur
- Wood grips that enclose the frame except for the back strap
It was stored in a box with foam rubber packing material for who knows how long. As a result, there are a few blemishes in the blue finish. How would I get rid of the blemishes? Dremel rotary tool and cloth buffer? Polishing compound?
Ive tried to understand the variety .38 caliber cartridges with respect to the 38 S&W Special CTG. But the variety leaves me stumped. Ive consulted my hand loading manuals without help there either.
So what is commercially available ammo that is OK in this revolver? Any .38 Special ammo? What about +Ps?
Anything special or remarkable about this piece?
When is the date of manufacture?
Any help is greatly appreciated in advance.
