I don't know about the Colt Army Special 38 as not being USA issue, but I can guarantee that the 38 Special was. We had S&W model 10's and then later Ruger 38's and had them through Vietnam and until the 9mm replaced it.
Of course, I am sure you said Colt Army Special 38 for a reason and not just 38 Special... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" />
