Smith & Wesson Model 940-3 J-Frame Revolver: First Look

The Model 940-3 provides an impressive combination of durability and performance in a classic design. Built with a stainless-steel no-lock frame, it measures 6.6 inches in overall length, 1.3 inches in width, and weighs 23 ounces. This 5-shot revolver is chambered in 9mm Luger and features a 2.17-inch stainless-steel barrel and fluted cylinder. Perfect for everyday carry, it includes a snag-free concealed hammer and comes equipped with a Tritium XS front night sight and a u-notch dovetail rear sight right out of the box. This J-Frame also features a precision-fit Hogue Over-Molded Rubber Bantam grip, designed with grooves that naturally position fingers for optimal control, along with Hogue’s renowned Cobblestone pattern for enhanced comfort and a secure hold during firing.

Compact, reliable, and purpose built – Smith & Wesson J-Frames are the perfect choice for your next everyday carry firearm.
