It's A Masterpiece

Combat Masterpiece, that is!


I've been wanting to play with one of these since I did the playtest for GURPS: SEALs in Vietnam!

This particular revolver is a Model 15-3 and appears to have seen a lot of handling and just a bit of shooting.



A tale about how the SEALs came to have Model 15's in .38 Special instead of Model 19's in .357 Magnum is because some procurement officer loaded a Model 19 with .38 and since he couldn't tell the difference between the 15 and 19, there was no need to get the more expensive magnum guns.

The trigger is buttery.  And is it WIDE!


As is the hammer spur.


I can't wait to see how Willard's new toy shoots!

    That's what we USAF Security Policemen carried as our duty weapons until the Beretta replaced them in 1984. I STILL love shooting them.
