Compact, reliable handguns remain a top choice for everyday carry and close-quarters defense. Lightweight frames, simple controls, and proven reliability make small revolvers especially attractive to shooters who value straightforward operation under stress.

SMITH & WESSON 642-2 AIRWEIGHT brings an owner-ready defensive package to the table with Crimson Trace laser grips, the original box and owner’s manual included, and the reassurance of a Certified Used firearm program. Certified Used examples are inspected to ensure very good to excellent condition, and they come with a ‘no questions asked’ return policy — all for a price of $427.49.

Design and defensive features

The 642-2 Airweight is a compact revolver from Smith & Wesson, designed for simple, reliable operation. The integrated Crimson Trace laser grips provide a fast, intuitive aiming reference in low-light or high-adrenaline situations, reducing the time it takes to achieve a usable sight picture. The Airweight frame emphasizes portability and comfort for concealed carry without compromising core revolver durability.

Why the laser grips matter

Laser guidance on a pocketable revolver shortens training time and improves hit probability under stress. The Crimson Trace unit on this model is a practical upgrade that turns a traditional revolver into a modern defensive tool while preserving the revolver’s inherent simplicity.
