Title: S&W 14-3 and K-38 in .38 Special
Post by: wisconsin on October 16, 2009, 05:42:00 PM

Can anyone tell me the difference in these two pistols. Looking at a picture of both I can't tell the diifference. I've heard of the K-38 masterpiece but the for sale listing for it says only that it is a K-38. By the picture they look to be both the same. But I know thats only my weak eye telling me that. Any help would go a long way in helping me choose one or the other. I'll be be using it for comp/target.

 K -38 is an older designation for what is probably the same pistol, so one probably is older than the other.

The Model 14 is the K-38 Target Masterpiece according to the Blue Book.
