Smith & Wesson 1.875″ Barrel 642 Small Frame Revolver 38 Special 5Rd – Stainless

Smith & Wesson’s J‑Frame revolvers have been the go‑to compact defensive pistol since the 1950s — and the Model 642 CT continues that legacy with modern enhancements. Chambered in .38 Special and built on a small alloy frame, the 642 CT keeps weight down (≈15 oz) while offering the durability of a stainless steel barrel and cylinder. The enclosed, snag‑free hammer preserves a smooth, obstacle‑free draw and the double‑action‑only trigger delivers a consistent pull for defensive carry.

What sets the 642 CT apart is the factory‑installed Crimson Trace laser grip, which provides rapid target acquisition in low light and stressful situations. Fixed sights keep the profile low and snag‑resistant, and the five‑round cylinder gives a compact balance of capacity and concealability. Rugged, user‑friendly, and purpose‑built for personal protection, the Smith & Wesson Model 642 CT is an excellent choice for everyday carry. Available at AR‑15 Discounts.
