In 2017 the Smith & Wesson Performance Center .38 S&W Spl. +P compact revolvers will be available in two new versions, both with 1.88" barrels, Performance Center-tuned actions and internal hammers. One version (main image, SKU 10186) comes with a custom textured wood grip and a matte silver finish, while the other version (below left, SKU 170348) has a cylinder that is cut for moon clips and a synthetic grip with a stylish wood insert. The bright-finish on the cylinder flutes contrasts the black synthetic grips. The thumb piece and side-plate screws complete the stunning appearance.

  

The Model 637 .38 S&W Spl. +P (above right, SKU 170349) revolver comes standard with a Performance Center-tuned action and an external hammer. The matte finish blends well with the custom textured wood grips, making this functional firearm at home in a holster or in a collector’s cabinet.

According to advanced Colt collectors, only about 35 or so of the original 400 factory Colt 1911s chambered for .38 Super have surfaced in the United States postwar, with only about a dozen of those remaining in their issued condition with their original finish, and given that the war officially ended on August 14, 1945, and since the OSS was dissolved on October 1, 1945, it isn’t likely any of them were issued before the Armistice.
