After 1935 (I don't when they stopped) a heavy barrel was an option on the 38s, but I don't know about the 22 caliber guns. Some models seem to have tubes that are heavier than others, like the Officers Model Match barrel seems heavier than the one on the Officers Model Target. Or is it just my imagination?
I have both the guns pictured above and the lower, later gun is indeed "heavier" profile FWIW. I think the .22 heavy profile was continued in the 4th Gen in the post above this one and ended in the very early 70s.
