So history of this gun, my grandfather carried it as a duty weapon for several years.(LOTS of holster wear) He passed it to my dad who carried it as his duty weapon in the late 70's to early 80's when he switched to a .357 mag. When it came time for me to wear the shield I carried an automatic, but being rural PD I opted for a 1911 😁.
Anyway, the lack of a prefix on the s/n (62278) indicates a pre war model. It has a heavy barrel and adjustable sight. I am not sure if the grips are factory or a modification added along the way. I am just curious to know what model I have. Be cool if I had a rarity as conversation peice. Not going to consider hocking my grandaddy's gun... it might not be "special," but it is to me.
From my own research I think it may be a 38/44 Outdoorsman 4" but not sure. Thanks.
