Item Description: This is a New In Box, with everything that came with it, S&W MODEL 642-2 38SPL + P 1.875" SS FXD DAO RB 5RD revolver with one box of 50 count Remington HTP semi jacketed hollow point 125 grain 38 special + P ammo. It has not even been cleaned since firing at the factory as suggested by the manufacturer before first time firing. Sorry for poor photo quality.

This is an airweight model. This basic airweight model was developed with a hammer in the early 1950's and issued to US Airforce Pilots as their primary carry weapon and was also sold to the public. I had one of these "airweight" earlier models in 1954 and found it easy to carry in any pocket and this model should be handier being hammerless. I do need to see a CCL or DL, preferably a CCL. I also understand that the .38 +P packs a powerful punch!

$420 cash or will trade even only for a NIB Ruger SR40c with no ammo. 404-790-3510. I don't text.

The "centennial" style revolvers were never issued to the armed forces. The concept of the "safety hammerless" goes back to the late 1800's.

The guns are not truly "hammerless", having an internal hammer, that is not exposed --as opposed to "striker" fired pistols. The hammer will "stack" just like an exposed hammer for the careful shooter.

The "-2" has nothing to do with it being a "hammerless" model. It designates a production series of the hammerless 642 - all 642s from 642 "no dash" to "642-XX" are hammerless..

The revolver you were issued in the Air Force had an exposed hammer and became the S&W Model 12.

The model 12 was an air weight alloy frame version of the model 10, which was on the K frame. The 37 was introduced in 1951 and is a J frame pistol. Could have been either honestly.
