The Smith & Wesson Airweight features a two-inch barrel for massive concealed-carry effectiveness. It probably wouldn’t be your first pick for shooting cans off the fence at 50 yards with it, but for up close and personal encounters, the Airweight is hard to beat. One thing that is unique about the pistol is that the firing pin is actually located on the business end of the hammer, which is something you don’t see every day. I kind of like the design, myself, if for nothing else than its simplicity. It’s also a great conversation piece because it’s highly likely many of your friends have never seen one.The tiny cylinder holds five rounds-just enough to get you out of a bad situation. The cylinder release is on the left side of the frame and takes a little force to slide so the cylinder opens. Because this is often used as a pocket pistol, I find it a well thought-out feature. The last thing in the world you need, should you have to pull the Airweight in self-defense, is an open cylinder. 

The J-frame is made completely of aluminum, that’s why. Only the cylinder and barrel are constructed of steel. The aluminum frame can handle .38 Special loads just fine, but +P rounds should ony be used occasionaly and for defensive purposes, repeated and constant use of +p ammo could stretch the aluminum frame and causing timing issues. Obviously, a one-pound loaded aluminum .38 is going to have a significant amount of recoil. Didn’t think that a little .38 could make your hand sore? Think again. The Airweight packs a punch, even with regular factory loads, this isn’t a gun to enjoy shooting all day at the range. It is a double-action pistol, meaning that it can be operated with or without the hammer pulled back. The pull in double-action mode is quite heavy, but in single-action, it seems just right. Again, because this pistol will easily fit into even the smallest pockets, I think that a heavy trigger pull is a great idea.  Also, because the gun itself is so short, the front and rear sights are closer together, which will effect aiming when it comes to longer distances. Most range reports say that a shooter can average three-inch groups from up to 15 yards. $399 plus tax,  CASH OR ZELLE ONLY. You must be an Arizona resident and possess a valid Az. D.L or state I.D.
