Very nice grouping. I have one coming in next week and will post when it arrives. the 38 DA is the least represented in my collection - no reason other than I have not seen a lot of good examples available.

Thank you. From my experience it’s harder to find a nice 38 DA than a 32SH,32DA, or 38SH. I assume that the 38 DA was probably carried in a holster rather than a pocket and that’s one reason. 38 DA boxes seem to be harder to find than the others as well.
