Why did Smith & Wesson only build the model 242 for one year? This is a great revolver.

  Like anything else, lack of sales. I have read that only 400 or so were produced, but I have seen quite a few of them and don't believe that they are nearly as rare as everyone lets on. I would wager that several 1000 were actually produced.
  
  Who really wants a pocket revolver that is that large? Even then, it is only 38 special in an L-frame.
