A huge WELCOME to all new members! Welcome to Colt Country!!!
The parent case used to develop the 38 WCF was the 44 WCF. Exact same dimensions between the two other than a more pronounced shoulder and necked down mouth to accommodate the smaller diameter bullet.
First pistol I probably ever saw with my eyes was an original .38-40 SAA with 7 1/2" barrel. When I was probably 3 years old. Dad would carry it when feeding the cows, because of the panthers.
