S&W 642 Airweight .38 Special +P 2″ Silver Revolver No Lock Black Grip

Lightweight silver .38 revolver with snag-free hammer and no internal lock for smooth daily carry.

The Smith & Wesson Model 642 Airweight is a compact .38 Special revolver built for easy carry, fast access, and everyday protection. It’s based on S&W’s trusted J-Frame and finished in classic silver with a no-nonsense black synthetic grip. This variant removes the internal lock, giving you a clean, reliable revolver without extra parts.

With a 2-inch barrel and an aluminum alloy frame, the 642 weighs only 14.6 ounces. It’s light enough to disappear in a pocket, purse, or inside-the-waistband holster. The enclosed hammer gives it a snag-free design that won’t catch when drawing under stress.

Rated for +P ammo, the 642 brings strong stopping power in a small frame. Its double-action-only trigger system keeps operation simple and consistent. No cocking required — just draw and fire. Many carriers prefer the DAO setup for safety and ease of use under pressure.

The silver finish gives it a clean, classic revolver look. Paired with the matte black grip, the style is timeless and practical. Fixed sights stay out of the way but are easy to align at close range. The grip fits comfortably in small or large hands and helps tame recoil for repeat shots.

This “no lock” version appeals to shooters who want mechanical simplicity. Without the internal safety lock, the 642 stays closer to its original revolver roots — reliable, ready, and rugged. Whether it’s your first carry gun or an everyday backup, the S&W 642 delivers power and peace of mind.
