Smith and Wesson Model 642 Ladysmith 38 Special +P 1.88 inch 5 Round Stainless Matte Silver

The Smith & Wesson Model 642 Ladysmith is a compact J-Frame 38 Special +P five-shot revolver that blends the original Centennial Airweight lineage with modern carry-minded upgrades, making it an excellent choice for daily concealed carry, pocket carry, or a strong-side backup. With a 1.88" stainless steel barrel and cylinder paired to a matte silver aluminum alloy frame, this 14.4 oz DAO revolver delivers corrosion-resistant durability where it matters and a lightweight balance for all-day wear; the enclosed, snag-free hammer provides smooth draw from cover garments while maintaining the option for an accurate double-action pull. Finger-grooved wood grips are shaped for smaller hands, improving control and follow-up shots, and the integral front and fixed rear sights offer a simple, sighted point of aim for close defensive encounters. Rated for continuous +P use and featuring an internal lock for secure storage, the Model 642 Ladysmith continues the J-Frame tradition that began with Smith & Wesson's Centennial models, offering proven reliability, straightforward operation, and the short overall length (6.30") needed in tight carry situations; transfer requires an FFL.
