Need help - engineering changes for S&W Model 38 Bodyguard

[Double-O-Dave]

Good afternoon:

I'm away from home at present, so I can't access my S&W Catalog. Can anyone provide a list of the engineering changes (aka "dash" numbers) with a brief description of what the engineering change was for the Model 38 Bodyguard? Specifically, I'm looking for the changes on a Model 38-2, but wouldn't mind seeing all of the engineering changes for this particular model.

Thank you,

Dave

Bodyguard Airweight - 1955-1957
Model 38 - 1958-1987
Model 38-1 - 1988-1989 yoke retention changed, radius stud
Model 38-2 - 1990-1995 sight width changes (other changes during this period without new dash number)
Model 38-3 - 1997-1999 J-Magnum frame, MIM parts
Model 38 discontinued - 1999

I hope this helps.

Perfect! This is exactly what I was looking for. Many thanks, JP@AK. You just might be responsible for the placement of a 38-2 in a new home...
Updates if they become available.

Best regards,

Dave
