Description:
The Model 642 Centennial Airweight is a variant of the Model 640 Centennial with an aluminum alloy frame and 2 inch barrel. Production of this specific model began in 2001 as part of the Centennial Airweight series. It continues to be manufactured today, maintaining its popularity for concealed carry due to its lightweight design and reliable performance. The MSRP for this gun is approximately $520 new. For a used one in 95% condition, the market value ranges from $400 to $450 based on current 2024–2025 data from trusted firearm pricing platforms. This lightweight revolver in .38 Spl +P caliber offers a compact design ideal for concealed carry. Its accuracy is commendable for a snub-nose, delivering consistent performance at close to moderate ranges. The ergonomics suit smaller hands well, with a grip that aids control during rapid fire, though larger-handed shooters might find it less comfortable. Reliability is a key asset, with a proven track record of functioning under varied conditions. However, the double-action trigger pull is notably heavy, potentially affecting precision for less experienced users. Felt recoil is manageable with standard loads but becomes sharp with +P ammunition, which may deter some shooters. Maintenance can be cumbersome due to the internal hammer design, requiring more effort for thorough cleaning. Overall, it's a practical choice for defensive use. .38 S&W Special
