will my 38 special fit in this holster? It is a "snub nose" and has a short barrel....

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

you can use it but i would'nt advise it. The barrel helps keep the pistol in the holster and if yours is a snub nose i would be afraid of the pistol falling out of the holster.I am sure if you check with amazon and ask the right questions they will tell you they probbly have the holster you are looking for.i would almost garentee it.amazon has always had what i needed or wanted.Good luck and God bless.

I have a Charter Arms snub nose 38 spl with an exposed hammer - made in about 1975. It fit and works fine with that. Note that in bright sunlight the laser dot cannot be seen.

mine fits perfect, i had some problems with the screw (use the original short screw or else you'll damage your trigger) but other than that it fits nice and flush. i'd have to see a picture to see exactly what you're talking about.

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.

The gun i use is a S&W; Airframe .38 with 1 3/4 in barrel and it fits well. My pistol has a 5 round cylinder and the holster is just a tad big.

Yes sir I use mine for my snub nose .38, holds a good amount of ammo and really good quality for the price can't bet it!

The barrel will stick out a little under two inches (which is normal for a shoulder holster), but yes it will fit.

John Yes It fits very snug. You can bolt it down as tight as you want. It comes with two different size screws for regular and heavy barrel and everything in-between.

Hi. Yes it will fit, but it does not offer real support very far up the barrel. So, use as a primary holster, or in a very active environment, would not be advisable.

its actually a little too big for that gun. it is somewhat adjustable but would be a little big no matter what. frankly it's also kinda cheap i bought it but never use it and wouldn't buy it again. try an uncle mikes holster they have lots of different size option holsters and some specifically for compact and/or concealed Cary guns and they are really affordable. hope that helps you.

I wish I knew, it was a snug fit for the charter arms 38 special but it does fit.

Yes and no. It will fit but its for snubbies, so the longer barrel will stick out.

It depends on the model, there are numerous 38 special models and the models that fit are listed on the Sneaky Pete website. I found the holster a bit too bulky and not easy to draw from.

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.

i use with s&w; model 37 .38 spc. and its a good fit. .357 should be better fit....as advertised barrel length is limited to ?4 inches?. good quality unit for price.

It will fit just fine. It's just the length of the barrel will be shorter inside the holster
