Smith & Wesson wraps up July 2026 – the month that saw the United States of America celebrate the 250th anniversary of their independence, and the global civilian arms industry launch a whole slew of commemorative models to celebrate the occasion – by launching two limited-edition revolvers that come right at the heels of the Model 1854 "America 250" lever-action rifle: the Model 642 "America 250" and Model 66 "America 250".
The Smith & Wesson Model 642 "America 250" Limited Edition commemorates America's 250th anniversary while delivering the proven reliability and concealability of the iconic J-Frame platform.
Chambered in .38 Special +P with a 1.875-inch stainless steel barrel and 5-round capacity, this lightweight revolver is designed for personal defense and everyday carry. Its enclosed hammer and double-action-only trigger create a smooth, snag-free profile for fast, consistent draws.
