It sounds like you have a .38 Safety Model, or New Departure as they are also called. It was called that due to the new designed Grip Safety. D.B. Wesson felt only an adult would have the Power in their hand to fire this gun with that style safety as he Feared children getting into a firearm and a bad outcome, so that is why he made it that way. I hope this helps, Hammerdown | |

I meant to call it a Safety Hanmmerless, but forgot to. They also offered this style of grip safety in an exposed hammer gun as well. Regards, Hammerdown | |
