What the heck is a model 9 revolver?
I've never heard of such a thing. Anyone got a pic of one?

That's a .38 with adjustable sights, a few are out there.

I was looking at a revolver this past weekend that had .38 special on the 4 inch shroud but didn't have adjustable sights. I was thinking that it was probably a 357 with a 38 shroud. I didn't try to chamber a 357 round into the cylinder though. DID DW make a solid rear sight 38? Looked like a model 14 to me. Even the bluing was a little different. Thoughts? Are they uber-rare?

That might be a Model 8? I think there was a Model 8.
I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman "Were is the Self Help Section?" She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.

Yes, that would be a model 8. The model 8 is a .38 Spl service revolver, with fixed rear sights & a matte blue finish.
Both these models are relatively rare, but not as rare as some. No matter what, if you have the chance to grab a clean example for a good price, DO IT! You won't be sorry.

Ok this is some kind of mixmaster as the barrel shroud is marked for .357! Thanks for the info.

The guys have you covered. If you go after one be sure it's not a 15 or 14 with a 38 shroud. It will still work but it won't be what you think you have. If a 357 cartridge will chamber it's not a 8 or a 9.
