>>13421767Hey bong I have a piece of bong history.
A "pre-victory" M&P made in 1942 in an early contract for the Brits before S&W went over to full war time production. Originally chambered for the British .38-200(.38S&W) cartridge with a 4, 5 or 6" barrel. It did a tour of WWII, got surplussed back to the US along with a shitload of other victory models. These guns were dirt cheap after the war and a great many of them were converted to fire .38spl(making them more attractive to US buyers) by boring out the cylinders. This job was done with varying techniques and degrees of success. Many also had their barrels shortened and their lanyard holes plugged to make them CCW guns. The variations of custom jobs done on these guns is impressive and you can usually find at least one example on gunbroker any time you look.
I spent a good deal of time waiting for the right one to convert into a "Fitz Special". I couldn't feel bad about cutting up a gun that was cut up before I was born.
And before the durrr what's wit da trigger guard...
