Smith & Wesson
Smith & Wesson Model 638 Bodyguard Airweight
Shrouded-hammer J-frame Airweight. The integral hump over the hammer keeps the spur snag-free for the pocket while still allowing a thumb-cocked single-action shot, splitting the difference between the enclosed 642 and an exposed hammer.

- •.38 Special +P rated, 5-shot, 14.6 oz aluminum-alloy frame
