      Buying .38 S&W Revolvers in Australia

      Magnum Sports lists 5 Smith & Wesson handguns in this collection: the M&P BodyGuard, M&P Bodyguard Crimson Trace Laser, Model 442, Model 36 Classic and Model 10 Classic. None is in stock today; all are available on special order. They are .38-calibre handguns, within the calibre limit that generally applies to sport handguns used for target shooting in NSW.

      Handguns are Category H in NSW. You need a current Category H licence and a Permit to Acquire; since 1 July 2026 a PTA is only issued once you show you meet the safe-storage requirements, and new and renewed licences run for a maximum of two years. Probationary holders are limited to .22 rimfire and air pistols for the first 6 months. Interstate buyers can have a handgun transferred dealer to dealer for $30 freight.

      Prices run from about $879 for the M&P BodyGuard to about $1,931 for the Model 10 Classic, with a typical price near $1,159.

      The Model 10 Classic, with its fixed sights and service-revolver layout, is the most traditional range choice here. Several of the other models are compact designs, so ask Magnum Sports to confirm barrel length and chambering of any specific model against your club's requirements before applying for a permit.
