Smith & Wesson's Model 637-2 Airweight is an alloy-frame double-action revolver in .38 Special with a snub 1.875-inch barrel. This used gun, serial DJP2804, is modern production and wears faux ivory grips. The bore is very good; the metal shows wear, but the supplier grades the overall condition very good. The Airweight name refers to the alloy frame that keeps the weight down compared with an all-steel revolver of the same size.

An Airweight snubnose is a concealed-carry revolver first; the alloy frame exists to make a pocket or waistband holster comfortable through a full day, and the short barrel disappears under light clothing. The .38 Special chambering keeps practice ammunition easy to find. The faux ivory grips are the cosmetic detail that sets this one apart from a plain example. Carry rules differ from state to state, so check yours before you order.
