If it's a 5 shot cylinder it's a 738.   If it's a 6 shot, Fixed Rear notch sight, it's a Model 708.   If it a rear adjustable sight, it's a Model 709(?)

My daughter's Dan Wessons 708 and 738:

Good to know, I just updated my notes I am building on all of the various DW models.  I’m building my own database about all of the models.  I started with the info available here on DWF, but have been adding information like this to mine to flesh it out.  Thanks for sharing!

If you're building a database on models, this thread should help you out... LINK

Thanks Charger, I copied that whole thing and used it as my starting point a couple years ago.

Kurt, if you've added things to that list yourself, you should post to that thread and share with everyone.

If it has a 3" barrel and rear adjustable sight, most likely the 709.  Send us some cool-pics.

 

dwf-welcome to the dwf as well!
