Been looking for one of these for quite some time, and just found one today. 38/44 Outdoorsman Target. I believe this is a "Transitional" in that it has the pre-war long action but the post-war ribbed barrel, likely made between 1946 and 1948 but I need to research it further.   It's in fine shape but is not a showpiece. I'll have it out at the range this weekend if I can pry loose some time. Looking forward to loading up some 173gr Keith bullets in Starline 38+P brass with some Unique or 2400... |

funny coincidence, i've been looking for a nice pre war outdoorsman decently priced for a while and ended up buying a 1956 5 screw outdoorsman that showed up last friday.

N FRAME 38 SPECIALS ARE SORT OF AN OXYMORON, BUT I HAVE 5 INCH AND 6 1/2 INCH FS 38/44's AND HAVE ALWAYS LUSTED FOR AN OUTDOORSMAN, CONGRATS TO BOTH OF YOU GUYS FOR GETTING ONE.

Very cool! Old S&W double actions are my favorites. I have a couple of old 38/44 HD's, but no Outdoorsman...yet,  |

Some have said an N frame .38 Special is a waste.
I do not agree, congratulations both of you nice six-guns from an era past. Enjoy.
