One of the standout features of this revolver is its precision sighting system, designed for fast target acquisition and accuracy. The front sight consists of a 1/8-inch Baughman Quick Draw blade mounted on a plain ramp base, while the rear sight is an adjustable micrometer click sight, allowing for fine-tuned accuracy. The diamond checkered walnut grips, adorned with Smith & Wesson medallions, provide a secure and comfortable hold. Additionally, the 6-groove serrated backstrap and forestrap improve handling by reducing slippage. The revolver was available with either a .375-inch or .500-inch target hammer, catering to shooters with different preferences for trigger control. A large S&W monogram is prominently displayed on the sideplate, signifying its heritage. With its exceptional balance, smooth action, and robust construction, the K-38 Combat Masterpiece remains a highly sought-after revolver, cherished by collectors and enthusiasts for its role in law enforcement history and competitive shooting.
