What’s Included
- Smith & Wesson Model 642-1 Airweight revolver
The Model 642-1 pairs a matte silver aluminum-alloy frame with a stainless-steel barrel and cylinder, keeping weight down without sacrificing durability. At just under two inches, the barrel maximizes concealability while the solid stainless construction resists corrosion.
The enclosed internal hammer and integral front ramp reduce snag points, making this revolver well-suited for pocket or holster carry. Fixed top-strap channel rear sights provide a clear, no-nonsense sight picture that stays on target.
Engineered as a double-action-only (DAO) revolver, the 642-1 offers a consistent trigger pull on every shot. A recessed firing-pin safety adds an extra layer of security without compromising the smooth DAO operation.
Rated for .38 Special +P ammunition, this five-shot wheelgun balances manageable recoil with credible stopping power. The black synthetic boot-style grips fill the hand while maintaining a compact profile for discreet carry.
