They also had a .38-200 round that used 200 grain .38 caliber bullet also leaving the barrel at a speed of 700 - 800 fps.
Fred - Thanks for the info.

Probably not, too new for my interests. I prefer the pre war leaf spring Colts and/or the target models (Officers Model Target, Shooting Master, etc.).

What are "Snakes" in this context? Thanks.
