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

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
