The .38 Special was and continued to be a popular revolver. By Staff Writer
The popular Model 67 revolver, or '.38 Special' as it is also known, is produced by Smith & Wesson and made with two and four-inch barrels. The gun itself has been manufactured by Colt, Ruger, and Smith & Wesson. The revolver is a six-shot rotating cylinder system and was first introduced by the Smith & Wesson gun company as early as 1899. The two-inch barrel weapons are normally used by Criminal Investigation Division and counterintelligence personnel. This weapon can be fired by cocking the hammer (single-action) or with a trigger pull that brings the hammer back before releasing it (double-action). It is designated a 'Medium Frame' revolver by the Smith & Wesson company.
