will this holster fit a S&W 38 special with an 8 3/8" barrel?

This holster probably wouldn't fit anything over 6". It is VERY well made. Excellent workmanship. Good luck in your search.

I'm pretty sure it will NOT. It is formed to fit single action "cowboy" type pistols and this particular one is fitted for 5 1/2" barrel length. To be sure, you could always contact the guy who sells them at bshkt00h30gqqjz@marketplace.amazon.com. His name is Tom, VERY nice guy!

Eve I don't think so, I have a 357 1873 colt type single action revolver. This gun fits that holster perfect. At the low side of holster where the trigger guard fits to the end of of holster is 7 inches. Of course the open end of holster is wide open a long barrel will fit through it.

A 8 3/8" barrel will stick out at the bottom. Other then that, I don't see why not. I carry a 357 mag with a 6" barrel. The barrel of my pistol goes to the end of the holster, is not exposed like a 8" barrel would be.

Should fit. The barrel will just slide Through the opening at the end. The trigger guard is what the retention device i attaches itself to in the holster.

NO. I have the largest holster and it just fits my Glock 27 with standard magazine. Another inch of barrel won't work.Bill

I have the Crimson carry with the 3 inch barrel and it fits like a glove. Always check with the seller just in case there is something peculiar that we may not know about, but I think it will probably work.

Doris, I believe the holster will fit any J and E frame with a 2 1/8 " barrel or less.

I use it with a 357 revolver with a six inch barrel. If the 8 inch that you mention is in the barrel length, I would guess that it would work just fine.

Sort of. It's a J-Frame .38/.357 revolver, so it'll fit, but I use it with a 2.5" gun and the end of the barrel is within 1/16 of an inch of the edge of the holster, so your 3" gun is going to stick out by about 1/2". The 2.5" gun I use is a .44, so your .357, being smaller, may seat a little deeper in the hoslter resulting in more barrel protrusion.

I do not know I do not know how big your gun is mine is very small and thin You can get it and if it does not work send it back, if it does fit I believe you will be very pleased it is a very nice holster.

The one I have is for a Smith J frame. Bottom is closed except for a small drain hole. A 3 inch barrel will not fit this holster. A Taurus M85 will fit. A J frame wil fit. FWIW, I love this holster.

Yes I. Believe it will fit. I have a double barrel .38 special cobra and it fits great. Best regards. It it doesn't IOU can return it..

Chris, this fits on the standard flat top or hand guard rails on an AR platform. I measured mine, and depending on whether your measuring the elevated ridges or the lower chanels both are greater than 5/8". I'm not sure where your 3/8" measurement is referencing. Also, I bought this for my AR to mount a scope with a 50MM Objective lens, it didn't come close to providing the clearance I needed.

I'm not 100% but I believe it will. I think that extra inch on the barrel will protrude out of the holster though

Yes. I bought this holster for my .38 derringer with a 2 1/2" barrel. A 3" barrel would fit no problem.

Yes, mine fits very well. A Smith and Wesson 38 special that is hammerless .

Yes it will, with a slight modification. I just opened the bottom stitching a little more so the end of the barrel now extends slightly past the bottom of the holster. (It is already open at the bottom, I just opened it a little more). It works good for me now.

Fits pretty tight..if the laser modify s the profile of the 238 at all then a238 with laser won't fit...especially if the laser is in front of trigger guard..this holster won't accept you bout have to buy purpose built to accept the weapon and laser

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.
