Keeping Traditions Alive Since 1953

There are plenty of J-Frames out there, but not many that make you stop and look twice. This version of the Smith & Wesson Model 640 takes the proven .357 Magnum snubby and finishes it with diamond-tipped machine scroll engraving across the stainless steel frame, cylinder, and barrel. Pair that with checkered and engraved wood grips over a matte silver finish and you get a revolver that looks like an heirloom piece while still being every bit a working gun. Smith & Wesson even includes a wooden mahogany presentation case, which makes this one a natural pick for a gift, a retirement, or a milestone birthday.
The 640 traces back to the Model 40 Centennial, and in 1995 it became the first J-Frame chambered in .357 Magnum. That matters because the all stainless steel construction soaks up recoil better than the lightweight alloy snubbies, and it's rated for continuous +P use. Load it with full-house .357 when you want maximum punch, or run .38 Special for relaxed range sessions. Five rounds in the cylinder, a 2.125 inch barrel, and 6.6 inches overall keep it compact enough to disappear in a pocket or waistband holster.
The 640 is double action only with a fully enclosed hammer, so there's nothing on top to catch on a jacket or pocket lining when you need it in a hurry. It also means you can fire from inside a coat pocket without the action tying up. Sights are simple and rugged: a black blade up front and a fixed rear notch, with zero adjustment screws to work loose.
At around 23 ounces unloaded, this revolver rides comfortably all day and stays steady when you touch off a magnum load. Whether it ends up in your carry rotation or displayed in that mahogany case, this is one of those rare guns that pulls double duty as a shooter and a keepsake.
Yes. Like any .357 Magnum revolver, the 640 handles .38 Special and .38 Special +P without issue, and it's rated for continuous +P use. A lot of owners practice with .38s to keep range time comfortable, then load .357 or +P defensive rounds for carry.
It's machine engraving done with a diamond-tipped tool, applied to the frame, cylinder, and barrel. That keeps the pattern crisp and consistent from gun to gun while giving it the look of a traditional scroll-engraved piece. The wood grips carry matching engraving to tie the whole package together.
No, the 640 is double action only with a fully enclosed internal hammer, a design carried over from the original Model 40 Centennial. There's no hammer spur to cock, so every trigger pull is the same. The upside is a completely snag-free draw and the ability to fire from a pocket if it ever came to that.
It's a fully functional carry revolver, mechanically identical to the standard Model 640. The all stainless construction, enclosed hammer, and fixed sights are exactly what you want in a daily carry snubby. The engraving and presentation case just mean it cleans up nicely for the display shelf too.
