will a S&W 38 chief special fit

Yes, I think so. My model 60 dropped right in. It leaves just a little trigger guard sticking out at the top. I decided I wanted an FBI can't so I wound up getting a Blackhawk in black synthetic. hope this helps. God Bless you and yours.

It doesn't have a backstrap and is currently holding a humpback, so I would say yes

I think that is a model 36 you are talking about. My model 60 fit it really well it was a 2 1/8 " stainless model 6o 5 shooter. I would think this is the same size as a model 36 or 642.

I have a Taurus 85 and a S&W; 640. These fit, but I was looking for a higher quality holster that was smaller and with a more efficient fit. See my review. I would not buy this item again, but it is a good bargain holster.

I imagine a 38 snub nose would fit - I've seen a Kahr CW9 fit in there just so you have some idea of comparison - you could contact the manufacturer if you're still unsure after reading the answers. There are two holes on the back side of it diagonal from each other for mounting (you just have to pull up the foam).

Hi/NO it will not fit. You have two ways to go, first the S&W; 4006 guide will fit easy way.Second the 40xx/59xx series will fit but some retrofitting will be required.I knew the first part NO. I did some research to get the proper answer.Good luck and good shooting and keep them in the 10 ring.If you care to get in touch with me you can at belv48@yahoo.comHave a great week and a better weekend. May GOD Bless and keep well.Wayne

I doubt it. I can't believe the grip frame is the same size on a 38 spl as on a 40 S&W.; I mounted my laser grip on a 1970 vintage Charter Arms 38 spl snubby. Easy installation. The laser grip manufacturer should know the real answer, I just guess at things.

I have a s&w; bodyguard. I think it might be a little big for this holister

Just checked the fit to be sure. I have a Smith & Wesson 940 9mm revolver (J frame same size as a 640-38) and it has loads of room. Any more and it would be too big. The strap over the top snaps but the other end is on hook and loop under a guard and can be adjusted. I have mine adjusted as tight as it can be and plenty of room. Looks as if it should fit the S&W; K and L frame Revolvers as well. I really impressed with this item.

I have a S&W; 642 LIghtweight .38 Special and it fits fine. Your Ruger looks about the same size so I think it would be fine. I wanted a holster to fit in my pocket and this does the job.

I have a S&W; model 36 Chief's special with a 2" barrel. I changed the grip to larger Pacmyer. It fits perfectly with room to spare.

Any of the smith and Wesson j frame revolvers will fit. It will also fit the colt detective special/cobra 38s. I have many of these small guns, and put one in my jeans pocket every morning. This is a quality holster.

That depends on whether the .357 frame is the same size as the 38 Special. I'm thinking that if your cylinder is larger in circumference, it might not be a perfect fit. However, if your frame, including the cylinder, is the same, then you might be OK. Someone who has the same model as yours can give you a more accurate answer. Sorry I could not be of more help.

Not really....the holster is made for a large frame gun...most 38s are small frame and won't fit properly for safe carrying...

I am not 100% sure since I do not have a .38. But I have found it to be very adjustable to fit everything I do have all the way from a small framed .22 to a large framed .45. All of mine are automatics though.

I think it will, I carry SW J frame 38. I carry front left (cross draw) what I don't like is it does not have snap strap to secure the handgun.

ideally for .25 and small .380 semi-auto ...I think they would NOT fit a 38 special due to size

Looking at his post for Crimson Trace the seller list he has Grips for Round and Square butt S&W. With that thought in place he likely has Grips to fit many models of S&W. My advice would be contact the seller and find out from him what exactly he has. God Bless

Im have a 357 that can also use 38....case has plenty of room if you need it for a bit longer ammo

I am not sure. I believe that it will fit any 5 shot 38 sp revolver as long as the cylinder swings out enough so the grips do not interfere with it. I know that it works with the Smith & Wesson and it will work with my Charter Arms Off Duty even though my revolver was not listed. The frames should be the same. I feel that revolvers are more reliable and it gives me comfort in knowing that I have a handy way to store 5 more rounds rather than just having them in a pocket. If the price is right, I would not hesitate to take a chance on it. There are many people that are carrying the S&W; so you should have no trouble reselling it. I am not sure.
