In 1952, Smith & Wesson debuted two J-frame Centennial® revolvers, the Model 40 and Model 42, named in honor of the company’s 100th year. The Model 42 Centennial Airweight® was designed as a lightweight aluminum alloy revolver with a fully concealed hammer. The Smith & Wesson Model 642 LS Ladysmith™ Revolver is a variation on the Model 42 Centennial Airweight® that integrates the time-tested features of the original with modern advancements.
Smith & Wesson J-Frame revolvers have had your back since 1950. These small revolvers were designed to fire a full power round and are as simple and easy to use as they are reliable.
