Notable for its smooth walnut grips, the 940 Lew Horton Special is equipped with finger grooves, ensuring a secure and ergonomic hold. The revolver is designed with a fully concealed hammer, which aids in its snag-free draw, a feature highly valued for carry guns. The fluted, 5-shot cylinder is built to accommodate the .356 TSW cartridge and can also fire 9mm ammunition using full moon clips, enhancing its versatility. This model, part of a limited production run of only 300 units, carries the serial range APC0001-APC0300, making it a rare and collectible piece. In addition to its striking appearance, the revolver is also known for its excellent craftsmanship, with polished stainless finishes on early shipments and satin stainless on later models, accompanied by the MIM thumbpiece. With its combination of unique design, limited availability, and powerful chambering, the Smith & Wesson 940 Lew Horton Special remains a prized example of 1990s revolver engineering.
