FEATURES:

The Smith & Wesson 642 Airweight revolver is designed for those who demand reliability, ease of use, and concealability in a self-defense firearm. This lightweight, double-action-only revolver is built on Smith & Wesson’s renowned J-Frame, making it a dependable choice for everyday carry. Its internal hammer design ensures a snag-free draw, eliminating the risk of the hammer catching on clothing or holsters during critical moments. The streamlined profile, combined with a ramp front sight and fixed rear sight, contributes to the revolver's smooth, quick deployment, making it an ideal companion in high-stress situations where every second counts.

The 642 Airweight is constructed from a combination of stainless steel and alloy, providing strength and corrosion resistance without adding unnecessary weight. This blend of materials ensures that the revolver can withstand the rigors of daily carry, including exposure to humidity and perspiration when carried close to the body. Weighing in at just over a pound, it’s light enough to be comfortably carried all day, whether in a holster, pocket, or purse.

Despite its compact size, the 642 Airweight packs a punch with its 5-round cylinder, rated for +P .38 Special ammunition. The black synthetic grips offer a firm and comfortable hold, allowing for precise control and natural pointability. The double-action-only mechanism simplifies operation, making it as easy as pointing and pulling the trigger, with no need to worry about cocking the hammer or other manual actions. This straightforward functionality makes the 642 an excellent choice for both seasoned shooters and those new to carrying a firearm.

The Smith & Wesson 642 Airweight is a durable, lightweight, and highly reliable revolver designed for smooth, snag-free operation, making it a top choice for concealed carry.
