Description:
From its exclusive owner in the Pacific Northwest comes this very attractive, rrely seen variant of the Smith & Wesson .38 Centennial Airweight, numbered model 442. Very few Smith & Wesson 442 revolvers were manufactured in any finish, much less satin nickel. Furthermore, nowhere on its surface does this 442 have the word, Airweight. Model marking inside the frame has no engineering change suffix, either. As far as basic features, The Model 442 is full-time double action; since the hammer is completely enclosed inside the frame. For personal protection, many veteran law enforcement officers and firearms instructors recommend the Centennial cannot be fired in single action mode, where a person cocks the hammer and then pulls the trigger. It is an exceedingly dangerous situation when a homeowner hears a noise and immediately backs the hammer on any revolver. This configuration has long been very popular and, in our opinion, vastly less dangerous than many of its semi-automatic peers. This early variant is not factory rated for +P ammunition like its current production successor models are. As far as Factory Specs, this revolver is .38 Special caliber, double action only, 1 7/8 inch barrel, overall length 6 5/16 inches; aluminum alloy small frame J designation; satin nickel finish, original factory issue Finger Grooved short rubber Uncle Mike’s Boot Grip; serrated ramp front sight with fixed notch rear sight; internal hammer with locking mechanism; .312 width smooth combat case colored trigger; 5 shot capacity. Surface detractions are minimal, only faint rotation and operation marking to the cylinder and yoke, and minimal scuffing streaks on the right grip panel. We classify this satin nickel 442 as Excellent, 95 percent vicinity. Photos, at any rate, ought to suffice for our distinguished shoppers to judge finish grade for themselves. It is excellent mechanically; bore, chamber, and mechanism are all bright, clean, and excellent. From our knowledge of its only owner, and from its condition, we estimate it has been fired fewer than 50 times. We’re offering this very attractive, eminently collectable Satin Nickel Airweight Centennial for only $ 439.00. Not transferable to civilians in California, District of Colombia, or Massachusetts. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> $10 lower 48; $30 Alaska, Hawaii or Puerto Rico, USPS Priority Mail, insured with Delivery Confirmation.
