Smith & Wesson 638-3 .38 S&w SPL 5rd
1 in stock
Description
This Pre-Owned Smith & Wesson 638-3 is a J-frame Bodyguard Airweight revolver chambered for .38 Special and rated for continuous +P use. The Bodyguard layout pairs an aluminum alloy frame with a stainless steel barrel and cylinder, and the frame shroud rises around the hammer so the gun clears a pocket or holster without catching. It suits concealed carry, backup duty, and anyone who wants a light five-shot revolver that stays simple under stress.
The hammer on this example has been bobbed, removing the small cocking spur that normally protrudes through the shroud, which leaves an even cleaner draw profile and keeps shooting duties in double action. It wears rubber grips and comes with the original box. Finish and mechanical condition are consistent with a carried and used revolver.
Smith & Wesson 638-3 Features
- Aluminum alloy J-frame with stainless steel barrel and cylinder keeps carry weight low without giving up corrosion resistance where it counts
- Shrouded hammer, bobbed on this example, presents no spur to snag on clothing during a pocket or IWB draw
- Rated for continuous +P .38 Special loads, so defensive ammunition selection is not limited to standard pressure
- Fixed rear notch and integral front ramp give a simple sight picture with nothing to shift or catch
- Rubber grips spread recoil across the palm on a lightweight frame that tends to be sharp with hot loads
- Five-shot swing-out cylinder loads and unloads quickly with a speedloader or strip
