I saw a Dan Wesson D-11 yesterday at a Houston gun shop. From others on this forum it seems that the barrel is fixed. I had an original impression that the barrel nut was on backwards but I have learned that some early DWs came with a fixed barrel and a barrel nut torqued on tight. This is a .38 Special pork chop in blue with a 4” barrel.
Here is the web address:

You must not have read my post regarding the early design with an external barrel nut that does not sit flush inside the shroud, which this is one.

I looked at the barrel nut closely and there is no way to engage a barrel wrench. The nut is absolutely smooth with no notches. I would never do it but it looks like the only way you could get this nut off would be vice grips.

Fixed barrel model 11s are quite collectable. To some people.

Okay, then there is your answer ... fixed barrel.
