Smith & Wesson Model 40
I don't see many model 40's in this area for sale. I did see one today but didn't have to money to buy at this time. Any information on this model would help. Are they rare or is everybody holding on to them. The one I seen today was $475.00

What is the model 40? I am not familiar with that one. Is it a small frame revolver?

When they come to get your GUNS, make sure to give them the AMMO first!!!0 -
It's the original Centennial .38 with a grip safety. J-Frame. They stopped making them when they were'nt selling too well. Once they ceased production, they became a much sought after gun. Saw one today at the Orlando gun show. In good shape, they are still pretty pricey.

The Centennial hasn't been made for 30 years.
I imagine that's the reason, you don't see that many come up for sale.

SaxonPig; not 100% sure on the frame, but could an I Frame even fit a .38 spl? I thought that was why the Chief's Special was introduced in 1950 on the J frame. As for the grips, S&W made slightly different grips for Centennials. I have a 642 (true J frame) and the grips are a little taller to cover more of the frame. Regular J frame grips fit on it, but don't look quite right. I don't have access to a 40 or 42 to check grip fit on.
