Smith & Wesson M640: Compact Power in Your Pocket

Why Choose the M640?
This revolver is built on the principle that simplicity and reliability matter more than capacity. The stainless steel construction resists corrosion, making it suitable for carry in varied conditions. The double-action-only trigger removes the temptation of a light, single-action pull—every shot requires a deliberate trigger press.
The .357 Magnum chambering gives you flexibility. Load it with full-power magnums for maximum effect, or use .38 Special rounds for reduced recoil and cost-effective practice. The 5-round capacity is modest by modern standards, but revolver shooters understand that accuracy and reliability trump raw round count.
A Tool, Not a Toy
The M640 demands respect and training. Its compact size and light weight mean recoil is noticeable, especially with magnum loads. But that same compactness makes it genuinely concealable. This is a serious tool for serious people who understand the responsibility that comes with carrying a firearm.
