The Model 38 is configured as a striker-fired, blowback, semi-automatic pistol chambered in .32 ACP. Its micro footprint and 2.75 in barrel make it notably compact, with an overall length of about 5.5 in and a listed weight of approximately 18.5 oz.
Construction features include a zinc die-cast (Zamak) slide and frame finished in black, paired with a steel barrel. The grip panels are black ribbed polymer, and rear slide serrations aid in racking.
Sighting is straightforward and durable, using fixed integral components: an integral blade front sight and an integral square-notch rear sight. The rear sight is machined as part of the slide.
Controls are simple and purposeful. The pistol uses a manual safety, and the slide retracts only when the safety is set to the fire position. This example is made in the United States.
Factory roll-marks are clear and informative: the right side of the slide reads "MODEL 38" over ".32 AUTO," while the left side is marked "Jennings Firearms" and "BRYCO ARMS IRVINE, CA U.S.A." The serial number is located on the left side of the frame above the trigger.
