I was going through the safe and found another not normal DPD marked gun its a M&P# DPD8303 but blue steel instead of nickel. There are different reasons I have herd why they were blued one reason they were issued to womens division so they were never going to see street use which is possible but more likely it was because nickel was need for the war effort. I would love to find out from S&W but the letters have gotten to be to expensive for what they are in my opinion. The other pic is all the DPD .38 M&P's issued including the airweight.
