Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Smith & Wesson Model 38 Airweight, introduced in the mid-1950s, is one of the most iconic concealed-carry revolvers in S&W history, designed for discreet defensive use without sacrificing shootability. Built on the compact J-Frame and featuring an aluminum alloy frame, it dramatically reduced weight for comfortable daily carry, while the distinctive shrouded hammer “Bodyguard” design allowed both double-action fire and snag-free draw from a pocket or holster. Chambered in .38 Special and equipped with traditional fixed sights, the Model 38 quickly became a favorite of detectives, plainclothes officers, and civilians alike. Today, it remains highly appealing to collectors for its historical importance, classic 1950s styling, and enduring practicality—especially when found in original, well-preserved condition.
Return Policy:
We gladly offer a 3 day unfired inspection policy from the time that the firearm is delivered to your FFL. Refunds are available for all qualifying orders.
