What’s Included
- Arminius HW-38 Titan Tiger .38 Special revolver
This Titan Tiger variant pairs a double-action/single-action mechanism with an external spur hammer and a six-round, six-flute cylinder. Its forward-push, knurled ejector rod serves as the cylinder release, providing a clean profile without a separate thumb latch.
The 2.5 inch snub-nose barrel is matched to fixed sights: an integral ramped front and a fixed rear notch cut into the serrated top strap to reduce glare. The sighting arrangement is straightforward and durable.
The revolver wears a uniform blued finish across the frame, cylinder, barrel, hammer, and trigger. Brown checkered synthetic grips with the Arminius helmet logo medallion offer a secure hold and complete the period-correct look.
Manufactured in Germany by Arminius/Weihrauch, this HW-38 carries a multi-line import/caliber block on the left front of the frame/barrel flat, aligning with its import history and caliber designation.
