    The snub .38 at war

    I hope some vietnam veterans can help answer my question. The oficial side arm during the vietnam war was the 1911 .45acp.

    Luged or unluged ejector

    Guys, What are the advantages or disadvantages of a full luged or unluged ejector on a J frame. I personally like the luged ejector it gives the small revo a tuffer look, but does it give any balance advantage or something else?

    Shrouded hammer or Hammerless?

    If both options give a snag free draw, why would someone go hammerless? It only seems that you would be giving up the versatility of the revolver. Personally I think the hammerless is better looking than the Shorouded hammer version, but here are some advatages of the shrouded hammer revolver...

    .38spl better than .380 or the other way around?

    I have heard comments that .380 is the semiauto equivalent of the .38spl snub revolver.
