The HW 38 pairs a bright plated finish with a zinc die-cast frame and receiver, while the barrel and cylinder are steel. Markings include "Made in Germany," "H. Weihrauch Mellrichstadt," an F.I.E. Miami, FLA import stamp, and circular proof stamps on the cylinder. The Arminius head logo is present on the frame.
The 4-inch steel barrel features a ventilated rib for a steady sighting plane. Sighting is handled by a ramped front sight and an adjustable rear sight, allowing precise point-of-impact tuning.
Operation is double-action/single-action with an external hammer and a smooth trigger. The six-shot, swing-out cylinder uses a crane-mounted thumb-latch release, and the ejector rod has a knurled tip for positive purchase.
Ergonomics are enhanced by one-piece checkered brown marbled plastic target-style grips with ARMINIUS medallions, providing a secure, consistent hold.
