The 640-1 is part of S&W’s Centennial series with an enclosed hammer and double-action-only operation. This internal-hammer J-frame design is purpose-built for snag-free carry while maintaining consistent DAO trigger operation.
Constructed from stainless steel, the frame, barrel, and cylinder wear a brushed stainless finish for a clean, uniform appearance. The five-shot fluted cylinder is chambered for .357 Magnum and operates within the compact micro-size J-frame format.
The 2.125 in heavy-profile stainless barrel includes an underlug that shrouds a short, knurled ejector rod. Fixed sights consist of an integral serrated ramp front and a topstrap groove rear for a simple, durable sight picture.
This pre-lock configuration has no internal lock, and the 640-1 dash variant is stamped in the yoke. Black rubber boot-length grips with finger grooves and textured panels provide a compact profile with positive hand placement. Made in the United States.
