I like that. I like 38 super. Did you order your barrel and spring from Dan Wesson. Was it a gun smithing job when it arrived?

I had to send it back for a warranty issue so while the gun was at DW, I had them fit the barrel and bushing.
Cost of the barrel, bushing, spring, mag and labor was $320. (my freight was covered by the warranty trip)

If you are competent to fit the barrel, they will sell you the parts alone. (I haven't ever fit a bbl or bushing so I paid the $75 in labor)

The word competent and I do not go together when it comes to being a gunsmith.

Here is the gun set up for 9mm and the 38 Super barrel/bushing, spring and mag, next to it.

Please post up some pics when it arrives! And if you ever want to get exotic, you can have a 38 Super barrel fit to it and have a beautiful 2 caliber gun.

If I am understanding you correctly I can have a gunsmith a .38 super to this Dan Wesson and have a .38 super that functions and does not destroy my pistol as it is?

Yes, Sir.

The 9mm to 38 super, conversion is just a barrel/bushing, spring and mag swap... as quick as you can remove the slide and switch barrel and spring & reinstall, you can swap calibers. I had to send mine back for a barrel link and had them fit the other barrel while it was there. It runs 100% in either caliber and is a joy to shoot.

I'll run it as a 9mm for my wife/son and then after a 100 or so rounds, a 90 second parts swap and I'm shooting 38 supers! It's that quick & easy.

Beautiful pistol, BTW!!!
