FAQ
Where can I buy a Fie Titan Tiger 38 Special online?
You can purchase this revolver at Kansas Gunshop (kansas-gunshop.com) with same-day shipping from Wichita, KS.
What condition is this police trade-in in?
These revolvers show typical holster wear but have been inspected for mechanical soundness. Expect some cosmetic wear but solid functionality.
Does this revolver come with any accessories?
It ships as shown – revolver only. We offer holsters and speed loaders separately.
What’s the difference between DA and SA modes?
Double-action allows firing by simply pulling the trigger (longer pull), while single-action requires manually cocking the hammer first (lighter trigger pull).
Is this suitable for concealed carry?
While possible, the steel frame makes it heavier than modern carry options. We’d recommend it more for home defense or range use.
What’s the manufacturing origin?
These were manufactured in Germany under the Arminius brand (Fie was the US importer).
Do you offer layaway?
Yes, we offer 90-day layaway with 20% down. Contact us to arrange.
