Classic-style wood grips complement its vintage appearance, while fixed sights maintain its practical, snag-free profile. Notably, this revolver does not include Smith & Wesson’s internal key lock system due to the grip safety design, further reinforcing its traditional roots. Produced from 2007 until its discontinuation in 2012, the Model 40-1 stands as a refined blend of old-world craftsmanship and modern precision.
