This Smith & Wesson 642-2 Airweight, serial DMB2149, is a modern-production .38 Special snubnose with a 1.875-inch barrel. The frame is alloy, the hammer is internal so nothing snags on the draw, and it wears Hogue grips. The seller rates the bore very good; the metal shows handling marks, and the overall condition is very good.
The 642 is the classic pocket revolver, and for a Utah shooter it fills the same role it fills everywhere: a light, simple gun that goes in a pocket or a jacket when nothing else will, with no safety to think about and a trigger pull that is the only control. The Hogue grips tame the recoil that an alloy frame otherwise passes straight to your hand, which matters more with a short barrel than people expect. Utah asks for no purchase permit and no state waiting period; the dealer runs your check through the Bureau of Criminal Identification, and you must be 21 to buy a handgun from a dealer.
