Chambered in .38 Special +P, this double-action-only revolver was designed primarily for concealed carry and personal defense.

The revolver’s five-shot fluted cylinder allows for reliable ammunition capacity without sacrificing size or concealability.
The Model 40-1 was built on Smith & Wesson's concealed hammer steel JC frame, making it a robust yet lightweight option for everyday carry. Weighing in at just 19 ounces, this revolver is easily manageable, yet it retains the durability expected of Smith & Wesson firearms. The checkered walnut Magna-style grips with the iconic S&W medallions provide both comfort and secure handling, while the grip safety on the backstrap further enhances its safety features. This safety mechanism prevents the revolver from being fired unless the backstrap is fully engaged, adding an extra layer of security. The Model 40-1 also boasts a smooth trigger pull, ensuring consistent performance under pressure. Although it was discontinued in 2012, the Model 40-1 remains highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts who appreciate its combination of classic design, functional reliability, and refined craftsmanship.
