The Weihrauch Windicator 38 Special delivers reliable double-action performance in a compact frame designed for concealed carry and personal defense. This six-shot revolver combines traditional craftsmanship with practical features that modern shooters demand.
What Makes This Different
Unlike many budget revolvers, the Windicator features a solid steel construction throughout the frame and cylinder. The 4-inch barrel provides an optimal balance between accuracy and concealability, while the exposed hammer design allows for single-action precision when needed. Quality control standards exceed typical imported revolvers in this price range.
