Smith & Wesson has put together a couple of new exclusives for Talo and United Sporting Companies for carrying concealed with class, a two-tone Model 642 with wooden-inset grip and a fancy engraved Bodyguard, respectively. Both guns blend classic styles with modern function.
The Talo 642 Airweight is based on one of Smith’s most popular revolvers for concealed-carry. It’s built on an alloy frame and chambered for .38 Special +P. A Performance Center revolver, this handgun has been worked over at the factory for a polished and chrome-plated double-action trigger that’s tuned for concealed-carry.
It’s a five-shot J-frame revolver with a polymer grip with hardwood inserts that offers the reduced recoil of a synthetic grip along with the classic looks of a traditional wood grip. The frame has a satin finish on the stainless steel cylinder and aluminum frame for a nice three-tone look.
The rest of the specs are pretty familiar for anyone considering an Airweight. It has a 1.875-inch barrel and an overall length of just over 6.3 inches. It weighs 15 ounces unloaded, which is light enough to carry in a pocket or an ankle holster but still has enough mass to deal with the hottest .38 SPL loads. It sports integral sights front and rear and the double-action-only hammer is concealed for a snag-free draw.
