Smith & Wesson Model 642 w/Laser .38 Special +P 1.88" 5-Shot J-Frame DAO Revolver - California Compliant

The Smith & Wesson Model 642 with factory Crimson Trace Lasergrip is a compact J-frame revolver chambered in .38 Special +P, purpose-built for everyday concealed carry. This California-compliant 150972 configuration is factory-equipped to meet California's handgun roster requirements, making it one of the few S&W snub-nose revolvers available in the state.

Built on the legendary small J-frame platform, the 642 pairs a lightweight aluminum alloy frame with a stainless steel barrel and stainless cylinder for durability and corrosion resistance. The 1.88" barrel keeps the overall length to just 6.30", and the entire revolver tips the scales at only 15.40 oz unloaded. A fully concealed hammer and snag-free profile allow for a smooth draw from a pocket or IWB holster.

The Model 642 operates via a double-action-only trigger with no manual safety to manipulate under stress, making it an ideal backup or primary concealed-carry piece. An integral front blade and fixed rear notch handle iron-sight aiming, while the factory-installed Crimson Trace Lasergrip adds an instinctive aiming reference for fast, accurate defensive shooting. The five-shot cylinder accepts standard .38 Special and .38 Special +P defensive loads.

A descendant of the classic Centennial Airweight line, the Model 642 has earned a long-standing reputation as one of the most trusted concealed-carry revolvers ever produced. This listing is for the California-compliant 150972 variant and ships with the factory Crimson Trace Lasergrip installed.
