I wonder if those Limey chicks were thinking "Nice revolver, but too bad 38/200 doesn't have enough power to pull the string out of a cat's ass."

While many we sent to England were .38 S&W, not all were. Hard to tell, but those cylinders look like they might be .38 Spec. The .380 Brit is a weak ass cartridge no doubt. |

Nothing like a revolver built like a bank vault firing a cartridge that was slower than Christmas, but made up for it by being exceedingly light. I need to dig up a book that broke down civilian commercial off the shelf firearms Lend-Leased to the British. One number I remember was 152 Single Action Army revolvers in various caliber. |

It is reported that Wild Bill Donovan smuggled a HD-MS pistol INTO the oval office in a binder, and shot a sandbag with it while the President had his back turned.
The President did not detect the shot, and Donovan presented the pistol to the President as a gift. The weapon was turned back over to the Army after it was discovered that the design was still classified. |
