SMITH & WESSON 1960 Model 40 Centennial 2" Nickel .38 SPL
Description: Guns Listing ID: 601641 Smith & Wesson Model 40 Centennial revolver chambered in .38 Special with a nickel finish. Manufactured in 1960, this is an early \"no dash\" model featuring the desirable \"flat latch\" thumbpiece, making it highly collectible. The Centennial is notable for its hammerless, all-steel J-frame design, offering a sleek, snag-free profile ideal for concealed carry. This revolver features a 2-inch barrel and the factory S&W Nickel finish. It is fitted with the factory original high-horned smooth walnut stocks inlaid with S&W medallions. The set is complete with the original factory box and factory paperwork. The overall condition is excellent, showing honest handling consistent with its age. The cylinder face is very clean, suggesting little to no firing outside of the factory. However, there are a few small light scratches on the firearm. Despite minor cosmetic imperfections, the revolver is entirely original and functions perfectly. An outstanding addition to any S&W collection. History of the Model 40: 1952 - The Centennial Standard and Centennial Airweight (alloy frame) are introduced. The Centennial was named to commemorate Smith & Wesson‚s 100Th anniversary. The Centennial was designed with a [safety] hammerless frame and had a grip safety that required it to be depressed in order to allow the trigger to cock the internal hammer and strike the firing pin. Owner‚s had the option to disengage the grip safety by inserting a small pin that was supplied and shipped with each revolver. The subject Pin could be found in it‚s designated area in the frame between the stock panels. These handguns came with high horn smooth stocks and had a flat cylinder latch and a pinned barrel. They were produced with a numerical-only serial numbering system, that is, without a letter suffix. The frames had a 4 or 5 screw side plate. The Centennial Airweight had a weight of about 14.4 ounces as opposed to 20 ounces of the steel framed Centennial Standard. The Standard was available in Blue or Nickle finish. The Airweight was available in a Nickle or Matte Black finish. 1957 - The Model 40 and Model 42 [Airweight] are introduced. A notable change from the original Centennial is the re-designed side plate which now incorporates an improved internal bevel, eliminating the top side plate screw‚s original location, making it a 3-screw side plate. The model number is stamped and located on the portion of the frame that‚s covered by the cylinder crane. There will be no other variants produced until the re-introduction in 2008.
