For Emergency Use Only!

These are "working guns" - smaller firearms for concealment and self protection.

This is a Model 66-1 snubby. The 66-1 was the last of the "pinned and recessed" Model 66s. I've always thought that the P&R revolvers showed an...

This is a Model 66-1 with a 2 1/2" barrel, a fine, powerful undercover revolver. This shot shows the recessed chambers in the cylinder. Shown with...

Back in the '60s and '70s, this little number was one of the most concealable firearms out there. It's a Hi-Standard D101 derringer, an over-under...

This illustrates the handiness of a J-frame revolver (in this case a Model 442) when equipped with Barami Hip-grips, as many of mine are. The...

I don't usually endorse semiautos for concealed carry on the street; I've never liked fooling with safeties or policing ejected brass. But if a good...

Here's a .32 S&W Safety Hammerless, with box, ammo, and advertising from that era. The first "lemon squeezer" style revolver with a grip...

The Model 60 has the honor of starting the trend to stainless steel handguns. It was the very first production stainless steel handgun, in 1965. ...

The concept of a small concealable revolver is not new. Guns of this type existed in the 19th Century. This "lemon squeezer" third model Safety...

Yeah, I know it's not a Smith, but historically, the Colt Detective Special started the modern "belly gun" genre way back in 1926. This second...

I've been asked which I prefer, the Bodyguard, or the Centennial. Illustrated are a 649 and a 640, the stainless version of each breed. The answer...

A Model 19-3, made in 1975. This one has had the benefit of an action job and the addition of my favorite Ahrends stocks. A super smooth K-frame...

This Model 66-2 has been polished with Mother's Mag Polish, so it's not "as issued." It's also received a slick action job. The Model 66-2 was the...

Who says snubbies can't be accurate? This double action group was fired with this Model 66-2 at seven yards. I think it would get the job done.

A nickeled Model 49 Bodyguard, a fine choice when you want to have your cake and eat it too. Single action or double action, your choice, in a...

While not a Smith, this is a gun for those situations where any gun is better than no gun. This North American Arms .22 LR mini-revolver is housed...

A group of snubby K-frame .357 magnums surrounding an inside-the-pants FIST holster that works with any of them. Top left: Model 66-1, top right:...

While I wouldn't choose this 6-shot .22 for personal defense, it makes a great "kit gun" for stowing on camping trips - OK for snakes and such. This...

This is a Model 10-5, 2-inch, round butt, nickeled, manufactured in 1977. If you want 6 shots of .38 special instead of 5, this is a good choice.

This illustrates the "guts" of a typical modern J-frame Centennial-style S&W revolver. This is a Model 642-2.

A definite favorite of mine is this 649-4 Bodyguard in .38 special. It was made in 1997, and has the strengthened frame. I've installed Barami...

This is the lightweight Model 642-2, .38 Special, made February 28, 2008. It's set up with Barami Hip-Grips and a Tyler-T-grip for pocket carry. ...

This 640 in .38 Special has one of the smoothest double action pulls of any J-frame I've known. It's a "no-dash" produced in 1993. It's equipped...

Here's the "baby" of this group, a Model 317 Airlite, chambered for 8 rounds of .22 Long Rifle. With the coveted "Dymondwood" stocks, this gun...

This unusually configured Model 60-7 in .38 Special was manufactured in 1993. It sports a set of old Bianchi "Lightning" stocks that allow a draw...
