You are definitely right, it's been deemed obsolete by the sands of time. I remember its recoil being fairly mild and its accuracy was pretty good when I shot my S&W Victory.

According to Wikipedia:
Currently only Ruger makes limited runs of revolvers in this caliber for overseas sales, and only a few companies still manufacture ammunition. The majority that do offer it in only a 145 gr (9.4 g) lead round nose bullet, though Fiocchi still markets FMJ rounds. Some companies such as Buffalo Bore manufacture self-defense or hunting variants.

You are absolutely correct about Fiocchi.

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where:
Ask yourself this--what is the .38S&W good for--other than feeding old revolvers? No one chambers it anymore, it uses odd, .360" bullets, it's useless for self-defense compared to most modern revolvers. I do suspect Fiocchi runs a batch now and then, because they are Fiocchi, but no one else cares.
