Immerse yourself in the rich history of Smith & Wesson with the Model 642-2 Airweight, a subvariant of the revered J-Frame Centennial models. Introduced in the 1990s, this revolver is known for its concealed hammer design, a feature that debuted in 1952 during S&W's 100th anniversary celebration. This stylish, yet powerful, firearm sports a sleek silver finish and is specifically designed for +P .38 Special ammunition. This allows for higher pressure, velocity, and energy compared to regular .38 Special rounds.
The Model 642-2 Airweight shows some signs of prior use and handling, with blemishes and scratches on the frame. However, the bore overall condition is excellent, boasting a clean, mirror finish with no signs of wear. Its rifling is also in excellent condition, with sharp lands and grooves. The revolver comes with a front fixed ramped serrated blade and a rear integral square notch.
What sets this firearm apart is its lightweight alloy frame, making it easy to carry and conceal. It features a stainless steel barrel and cylinder, a snag-free enclosed hammer, and is rated for continuous +P use. With a capacity of 5 rounds and a barrel length of 1.88", the Model 642-2 Airweight is a compact package that doesn't compromise on firepower. Its Double Action Only (DAO) system ensures reliable performance with a consistent trigger pull. When you invest in this firearm, you're not just buying a weapon, you're becoming a part of Smith & Wesson's storied tradition of quality and durability.
