Let’s See those Hammerless Smiths.

[colt_saa]

I forgot to include this one in my original post . . . NO, I do not use it as part of the teaching inventory

 

[les.b]

^^^^^^^^ You know, that is one of those guns that make me think, if I could only have one gun, what would it be? (Doesn't look like either of us is going to have to worry about making that choice). Well, that one could fill the bill!! Useful, beautiful, elegant, compact, safe, adequate caliber, classic....wow.

Thanks for sharing!!

Best Regards, Les

640, and 642-1

(sorry, but i'm too lazy to take a pic of just the J frames)

 

[ajgunner]

Wow---some of you guys take some impressive photos. As soon as winter rolls around I will have to work on my phone/camera skills.

 

[mikerjf]

642-1, self-made holly grips.

 

[Eagle1*]

One of my favorite EDC's at the moment. Have a 442 & 360 as well but this gets all of the carry time when I am off duty

I have quite a few Smith and Wesson Centennials in the training inventory. Most of them are in this picture

I do personally carry Smith and Wesson Centennials, these days it is usually a Model 340. I think the Centennials are the best choice for a pocket or purse gun. Usually if I have an ankle or belt holster I will carry a J-Magnum that has a hammer.

In the last couple of years I have been playing with carrying a NY reload and 2 of my Performance Center 940 Specials have filled that role

This holster allows me to draw a single firearm in the traditional manner or a cross draw. It is even possible to draw both simultaneously

Yes I do practice week hand shooting on a regular basis

Please tell me you New York-Reload Carry in that holster! Because if you do that is inspiring! I NY Reload Carry myself but one in the front right pocket and the other @ 4:30 on the beltline!

 

[HamHands]

How about an L Frame humpback in 44 Special?

Model 296

I've literally never knew such a beautiful beast exists... Wow, I want one!

 

[The_Truth]

Do these count? Top to bottom:

1994 Massachusetts police agency issued Model 4053 "1053" 10mm by Bill Weir (BMCM)

Model 296Ti

1957 pre-model 38

1990 Model 64 NY-1

Still looking for a period correct brushed aluminum Tgrip for the NY-1

That is exactly what I do

I was even thinking about letting Bell Charter Oak make one for a pair of auto loaders.

Perhaps a pair of CS10s or 1013/1014s

Centennials

I have posted this pic before but it's time to share it again! Nothing new since the last outing!

My 642 and carry knife. I like the hammerless 'Smiths.

 

[Lou_the_welder]

Hammer-less time!

 

[HamHands]

I've got a few.....

Here's my oldest, shipped July 1887:

Here's a few made over a hundred years later, my most EDC is the 340PD...top right:

Many folks are unaware that James Bond was issued the Cenntenniel Airweight at the same time as the famous Walther PPK....here's mine with the text of the original Ian Fleming story behind it....

Here's my "pre Centennial" from 1953:

With elk antler stocks and a Tyler T Grip, my 640 Pro Series is now my "Semi Barbeque" gun

If we're counting shrouded hammers, haow about this 49 no dash:

Best Regards, Les

That Centennial AirWeight is just awesome! I never knew James Bond carried an M36 concomitantly with a PPK... Speaking on the subject of "concomitant" can one run the back grip insert you have there with a Tyler-T grip at the same time? I have big mitts and that could allow me to get an even better grip with my 3 "J's"... and if that back grip insert comes rubber coated then I know my wife will want one to run on her M642 Airweight with Tyler T...

HamHands,
That is not an insert.

The early "hammerless" guns and the Centennials, then models 40/42 that followed had grip safeties.

It was not until the introduction of the stainless Centennial (Model 640) and airweight Centennials (Models 442/642) that the grip safety went away

 

[old tanker]

Here are my three: a New Departure in .32 S&W, a Centennial in .38 Special, and a police trade-in 640-1.

I've got more if y'all let "Owlheads" play.

Here's my 640 Pro wearing Altamont Bateleur bonded ivory stocks

[ohioan55]

Model 637-2

I don't own one without a tail as I like to have something for my thumb to play with, BUT I can post the one my wife likes to carry with her.

[H Richard]

Just a few, couldn't find a pic of the Mod 40.

 

[misterdish]

Model 60 vs Pro

I love my old Model 60 but the Pro Series 642 makes a better carry gun.

 

[CH4]

I am the proud owner of two such revolvers, a 342PD and 640-1 Pro. The 342 is perfect for pocket carry.

 

[NPD]

My EDC. Love this little 442PC.

 

[Coastie762]

I've picked up a few over the years. Hard to pick a favorite, however for pocket carry the 642 usually gets the nod.

 

[DRYHEAT]

Mod. 642-1 - shipped Nov. 1999

 

[pharmer]

Well, the 2" 64 is gone, one of the 642-1's was traded for a 640-1 and since replaced. Not all hammerless J's and the pic is from 2012 but it's my day off. Joe
