The .38 Special revolver, an American classic. The sidearm of choice of Law Enforcement for almost 100 years. In the snub-nose (J-frame) variation it was the choice of Detectives (Police and private) and in the 4' or 6" versions (K-frame), carried by both Beat and Highway Patrol officers. These days the most common ones are the J-frames, small, light, and easily concealable, being carried by regular citizens for self defense. This article covers their history and both their Pros and Cons in the modern era currently being dominated by Semi-automatics.
