In excellent cond it should bring about $325.00 with the DA version bringing about $285.00. Like Saxon said, its pretty much a collector Item as shooters prefer DA.
Years ago, when LAPD carried model 14's , the Dept modified the guns to shoot DA only, just the opposite of the SA version. They did not want the ofcrs cocking their revolvers and holding a crook a gun point that way. I believe a few people were unintentionally shot prior to the change, as it only takes a fraction of the pressure on the trigger to fire the gun when cocked versus double action.0 -
The SA only was the competition bullseye target shooting version where the shooters had NO need for double action and it was thought by those shooting these events a SA only trigger could be made far better and crip/clean than the DA/SA. Such guns almost exclusvely got a diet of conventional wadcutters and thus weren't beated to death with "combat" loads or heavyier loads. With the box it sure helps the value. LA used the K-38 for years with a 6 inch bbl. You often seem them in old re-runs of 1-Adam-12 in a clamshell holster.
It was only in the last few years they ordered their S&W revolvers in DA only mode and it didn't drop the AD rate.
The S&W could put every shot in a X ring on a 25 and 50 yard slow fire pistol target. Look at one and see how small that is.0
