Just curious about changing cylinders on Wesson revolvers. I have a Model 738P little dan, does anybody know if you can replace the cylinder and barrel with a 357 mag?  It would be nice to be able to convert it too a 357 snubbie. I see barrels and cylinders sometimes on gunbroker. Thanks

Lil Dan was designed to be a 38 +P, I'd hesitate trying to make it something it's not designed to be.

I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman "Were is the Self Help Section?" She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.

I'll buy Lil Dan from you and you can buy a 14-2 with the cash Laugh

Add to that finding an extra cylinder to fit it is going to be very difficult, and modifying yours would more than likely make you have to be very careful about choosing ammo that isn't too long, I'm assuming the cylinder is shorter to keep size and weight to a minimum. then you also have the collectibility of the Lil' Dan too
