What’s Included
- Smith & Wesson Model 640-3 revolver
The 640-3’s full-lug, 2.125-inch stainless barrel adds weight forward of the hand for better recoil control without compromising concealability. The pinned, serrated ramp front sight can be replaced easily with aftermarket options, while the integral rear trench keeps the topstrap smooth and snag-free.
An enclosed hammer Centennial design prevents clothing snags and supports the revolver’s double-action-only system. The smooth-face trigger promotes a consistent pull every time.
Built entirely from satin stainless steel, the frame, cylinder, and barrel resist corrosion and give the revolver a uniform, subdued finish. The black synthetic three-finger boot grip offers a secure purchase in a compact profile.
Safety features include a rebound slide, an internal transfer-bar system, and Smith & Wesson’s key-actuated internal lock, giving the owner multiple layers of mechanical security.
