I also meant to ask if there were (new) revolvers available on the civilian market after the .38 special came out? None are listed in the 1940 Shooter's Bible, although there are lots of models in .38 S&W. There were many Iver Johnsons listed as available also in .32 Special, whatever that is. However, the only .45 Colt revolvers were Colts, including the New Service, New Service Target, the Shooting Master and the Single Action Army. S&W didn't have one in that caliber, the closest one being the 1917 in .45 ACP.
