Smith & Wesson Model 642 Airweight - .38 Special
Smith & Wesson Model 642 Ladysmith Airweight - .38 Special

The Model 642 is built on Smith & Wessons's "J-Frame". It is part of the now defunct "Centennial" line of revolvers that were introduced in 1952 to mark the 100 year anniversary of Smith & Wesson. Because of its place in the Centennial line, this gun is also known as the "S&W Model 642 Centennial". Later Smith & Wesson dropped the centennial line (their centennial was over 50 years ago) but continues to produce this gun as simply the Model 642.

The Centennial line took concepts from the Smith & Wesson Safety Hammerless, mainly the DAO, hammerless design.

The gun was constructed entirely of stainless steel until 1995 when it was switched to aluminum and designated "airweight". For this reason the gun is also sometimes refereed to as the "S&W Model 642 Airweight".
