About this product

The Smith & Wesson Model 642 LS Ladysmith is a compact J-frame revolver chambered in .38 Special. It combines an aluminum alloy frame with stainless steel barrel and cylinder for a balance of reduced weight and corrosion-resistant components. The five-shot cylinder and 1.88-inch barrel keep overall dimensions small, making the revolver well suited for discreet carry and everyday readiness. The enclosed (internal) hammer and smooth lines minimize snag points for easier holstering and carry.
