Smith & Wesson

Since 1950, Smith & Wesson J-Frame revolvers have been a steadfast companion, renowned for their reliability, simplicity, and ability to handle full power rounds. With their compact size and diverse hammer designs, J-Frame revolvers have become the go-to choice for concealed carry and personal defense.

In 1952, Smith & Wesson introduced two groundbreaking models, the Model 40 and Model 42 Centennial® revolvers, to commemorate their 100th anniversary. Among these, the Model 42 Centennial Airweight® stood out as a lightweight marvel, featuring an aluminum alloy frame and a fully concealed hammer. This innovative design provided users with a compact and easily concealable firearm without compromising on performance.

The Model 642LS pays homage to the legacy of the Model 42 while incorporating modern enhancements for improved usability and functionality. Constructed with a lightweight alloy frame and a durable stainless steel barrel and cylinder, the Model 642LS offers a perfect balance of strength and portability. Its snag-free enclosed hammer ensures smooth drawing from concealment and eliminates the risk of snagging on clothing or other objects.

Designed with ergonomics in mind, the Model 642LS features wood grips with finger grooves, catering to shooters with smaller hands and providing a comfortable and secure grip for enhanced control and accuracy. Additionally, the revolver is rated for continuous use of high-pressure +P ammunition, guaranteeing reliable performance under demanding conditions.

Whether you're seeking a reliable everyday carry option or a dependable backup firearm, the Smith & Wesson Model 642LS embodies the timeless qualities and modern advancements that have made J-Frame revolvers a trusted choice for generations of shooters.
