Ok…, i’ll bite….I’m guessing a 38-44HD is a 38 special capable of handling heavy 38 special loads? The .39-44 HD was the Smith & Wesson N-Framed model with fixed sights known as the .38-44 Heavy Duty. With adjustable it was the .38-44 Outdoorsman. The .38-44 designation meant it was a .38 Special built on the 44 frame. Highly prized now for conversion to .44 Special. Bob Wright My comment was based on your reply to Huey. We’re thinking the same thing…

Harveylogan, youre killin me with thar fixed sight Bisley!!! I have an early SSM that started out as a 9½ inch. Shot like a rifle, but i bought it to cut down to a 4⅝. But it still isnt a fixed sight Bisley! I know where there's one in 22, but the end cost will be way too high. They would make a sweet 38 spl too. After reading this thread i need to get the 32 out, its been too long pete, That is my second one, the first one had the rollmark Bisley cylinder, then I ran across this one with the fluted cylinder and sold the other. I like the look and the rarity. The early guns were sent out with the fluted cylinder, Mr. Bill Ruger didn’t like the rollmark they originally came up with, and said ship them with the standard cylinders. The post on the front sight is a tad taller than the .22 front sight, and you can find the .22 sight easily. I have both .32 & .22 and both are great shooters. I fitted a Magnum cylinder to the .22. Keep a eye out, I see them from time to time, and the hunt is just as much fun!
