Description:
Guns Listing ID: 537008
The Smith & Wesson Model 342PD \"AirLite PD\" is a compact, ultra-light personal defense–oriented revolver based on the J-frame design, chambered in .38 Special +P. Here‚‚s a detailed breakdown:
?? Construction & Materials
Frame: Aluminum alloy “AirLite” frame in a dark, clear satin finish
Cylinder: Made of titanium to reduce weight while maintaining strength .
Barrel Assembly: Steel barrel housed inside an aluminum shroud, blending lightweight build with durability
?? Weight & Size
Extremely light at just about 10.8 ounces unloaded, making it the lightest .38 Special revolver S&W ever produced
Compact and concealable—ideal for pocket carry or IWB holsters
?? Cartridge & Ammunition Notes
Rated for .38 Special +P loads; barrel may be marked “+P Jacketed ammo only” to prevent bullet pull-out under intense recoil
?? Handling & Shooting
Felt recoil is more pronounced than heavier J-frames, though manageable with proper ammunition and grip
Compact size can make it feel almost toy-like in hand (some even used water-gun comparisons!) .
?? Production & Rarity
Manufactured 1998–2004, originally under the “AirLite Ti” name before being designated PD
Discontinued following the release of Scandium-framed options (Model 340PD/360PD), making it relatively scarce
