I've got a S&W Regulation Police in .38 S&W. I have purchased both new and old ammo for it, and the ammo cost has exceeded the gun's purchase price. It's really a neat little gun, I've only shot it around 20-25 times but it's really a cool little piece. Nickel finish, pre-J frame, 5 shot with 3 sets of initials carved in the base of the grip... While the .38 S&W has not been completely abandoned, it is a very underpowered round with minimal stopping power. Very much worth it as a collector gun though..
