An excerpt from the article:
Own the night: S&W's new Night Guard revolver line is just the ticket for personal protection.

When it comes to carry guns, I'm a firm believer that "light makes right" because any handgun that is carried for self-defense is going to be toted around a lot more than it is ever going to be fired. For these reasons, one of my regular carry guns is a 1960s vintage S&W Model 12 AirWeight--a K-frame alloy revolver that weighs a mere 18 ounces but holds six rounds of .38 Special ammunition.

phantom,
imported guns are not prohibited but import is strictly restricted to renowned shots or persons coming back to india on a TR.Dealers do stock colts and S&Ws which are mostly the pre-86 ones and its the same case with shotguns and rifles.regarding the prices,the insanity continues and it varies from dealer to dealer.
cheers

Phantom,
The insane prices prevail all over India and not just in WB. Dealers want to make really good money when they come across a well maintained firearm. When it comes to imported firearms though pretty older ones, the demand is much higher than the supply. The only way you can hope to get a good well maintained imported firearm for a reasonable price is if you are damn lucky and come across someone really close to you willing to sell you the firearm for a reasonable price. All the best.

You really carry a K frame that also a .38spl ??
How ? ( if I may ask)
RP.
I am editing my earlier post. Your post is misguiding Rottlord . After going through the link given by you I realised that you have just copied/pasted that stuff . You yourself DO NOT carry any firearm as you have given readers to understand.
Sir, will it be possible for you to get a little realistic?
best,

And I never claimed that I wrote the article. I thought IFG-ans enjoy reading about the different and the latest types of firearms and love receiving what people around the globe has to say about possessing one; hence, it's my meager effort to bring insightful articles under their notice. But this is India, where people are more inclined towards criticising things rather than enjoying them.
So far, so good...no more.

But you do claim to carry a alloy frame 38 special...please clarify what you meant. Keeping the readers entertained is very well but what you have written isn't clear.

Guys, this just proves one thing: No one bothered to click on the link I provided with the article. I do not have a .38 because my license is still due and as far as I know, a .38 is a PB in West Bengal. I just quoted the author; a look into the chief source of the article would have answered all your queries.

The .38 Special is NPB, it is the .38 S&W aka .38/200 which is classified as PB and no these two cartridges are not interchangeable. The PB/ NPB classification is uniform throughout the Union of India, at least on paper...
