    Thanks for allowing me to become a member of this group.....I've been researching the internet for a recent acquisition, and found this site to be most helpful.

    I responded to a local for sale ad for a S&W 38 Special. I could tell from the pics it wasn't a S&W. Turns out it is a Lil' Dan Model 738P.....

dwf-welcome to thedwf

So did you buy the Lil' Dan? They really don't come along very often, so I hope so.

I sure do love mine. smile

Welcome from the mid-cities. I almost sold my Lil Dan recently but reconsidered and decided to hang onto it. A pic of yours would be great.

    I'm not a collector, so I would sell this to a DWF member to fill out a collection. I have no idea what it's worth.

   This revolver was owned by an elderly gentleman for years. His wife didn't want a firearm in the home considering his age. I inquired about extra barrels but got no response. I'm thinking there was not a barrel set for this, even though it has the bushing in the barrel. Any help on that?

Welcome to the group. While there are a lot of unknowns when it comes to DW history I can say with confidence there were no other barrel lengths produced for the Lil-Dan.  There are brochures that show 4 inch barrels, but to the best I can find out none were ever produced.

   I've seen and owned pistol pacs throughout the years, but never saw one chambered in 38 Special. This revolver really had me puzzled, but several hours of research gave me a little info......I came here to learn more....
