Smith & Wesson Model 442 Airweight Centennial .38 Special +P Revolver, 1.875" Barrel, DAO, Matte Black

Smith & Wesson’s Model 442-2 Airweight Centennial blends a lightweight aluminum-alloy frame with a fully enclosed hammer, delivering a snag-free 5-shot J-frame that weighs only 15 oz and is factory-rated for +P ammunition. This pistol retains the Centennial lineage dating to 1952 by not adding an internal keyed lock, making it a practical carry gun with collector appeal.

Condition

Overall Condition: Very good condition, showing only light, superficial signs of prior handling or use.
Bore Condition: Excellent - Clean, mirror finish, no signs of wear.
Bore Rifling: Excellent Rifling - Sharp lands and grooves.

Minor superficial scratches and blemishes are present on the frame and cylinder, but they are purely cosmetic and do not affect operation.

The 442-2 uses a double-action-only trigger and an internal hammer, giving it a smooth, consistent pull and preventing snagging during draw from a pocket or holster. The enclosed design also shields the action from debris.

Its aluminum-alloy frame and carbon-steel cylinder keep carry weight to just 15 oz without sacrificing strength. A stainless-steel 1.875" barrel provides durability and corrosion resistance in a compact profile.

Fixed sights consist of an integral serrated ramp front and a milled top-strap gutter rear, delivering a low-profile sight picture that resists snagging yet remains quick to reference.

The revolver’s synthetic boot grip offers a secure hold with its pebble texture while maintaining a minimal footprint for concealed carry. Matching serial numbers on the frame, yoke, and butt confirm factory originality.

Rated for +P .38 Special ammunition, the Model 442 offers enhanced performance in a lightweight package, reinforcing its reputation as a dependable personal-protection revolver that honors the classic Centennial design. $379 PLUS TAX, CASH OR ZELLE ONLY.
