The Smith & Wesson Model 49 is a classic double-action revolver designed for concealed carry and close-quarters self-defense. Chambered in .38 Special, this iconic "Bodyguard"-style revolver features a 1.5-inch barrel, making it compact, easily concealable, and quick to deploy.

One of its defining features is the shrouded hammer design, which allows for both single-action and double-action firing while minimizing the risk of snagging during a draw. Built on S&W’s trusted J-frame, the Model 49 is known for its durability, reliability, and smooth trigger pull. Its all-steel construction provides a solid feel and helps manage recoil, while the classic fixed sights offer quick target acquisition.

Whether carried in a pocket, holster, or purse, the S&W Model 49 remains a dependable and discreet option for personal protection.
