I believe Pythons were made in 38 only early on. Just in case you run across one cheap some widow is selling at a garage sale.
Not related but you should keep an eye out for an S&W 38/44. I have one each Heavy Duty and Outdoorsman and they’re a hoot to shoot. One sold in the classifieds here not long ago for reasonable money.
Python was a .357 mag from day one, but they did make some that were .38 Special for export, and for agencies that wanted a Python but required .38 Special only.
