For Sale – Smith & Wesson Model 49 (.38 Special Revolver)

Up for sale is a Smith & Wesson Model 49 “Bodyguard", chambered in .38 Special. The Model 49 is a J-frame revolver with a distinctive shrouded hammer design, allowing it to be fired double-action without snagging, while still giving the option to thumb-cock the hammer for single-action fire. This made it a very popular choice for concealed carry and backup guns among law enforcement officers in the 1960s–1980s.
