The Model 640-3 is built on Smith & Wesson's Centennial J-Frame with an enclosed (shrouded) hammer and double-action-only operation. This design keeps the profile clean and consistent while supporting reliable trigger-only cycling.
Constructed entirely of stainless steel with a satin finish across the frame, barrel, and cylinder, the 640-3 is configured with a 2.125 inch barrel and a short underlug. The five-shot fluted cylinder pairs with a knurled ejector-rod tip for positive extraction.
Sight configuration is fixed, with a serrated ramp front sight and an integral rear notch in the top strap. Factory barrel rollmarks read "S&W .357 MAGNUM" and "SMITH & WESSON," and the yoke cut is marked "Model 640-3."
This 2009-production revolver includes the internal key lock with the keyhole located above the cylinder latch. The installed Hogue Monogrip rubber stocks with finger grooves provide a secure, hand-filling hold on this compact J-Frame.
