Firearm, Gun, Handgun, Weapon

Smith & Wesson has just announced four new Lipsey’s Exclusive Ultimate Carry J-Frame revolver models.

Even today, snub-nose revolvers have their place in the concealed carry world. Sometimes there’s just no better option than a tiny wheelgun. Smith & Wesson has just given the world four new excellent choices in that category. Part of the Lipsey’s Exclusive Ultimate Carry lineup, the four new models offer a self-defense solution in two different calibers with a choice between two finishes.

First up, let’s look at Models 432-UC and 632-UC. Chambered for .32 H&R Magnum, they feature a 6-round capacity, 1.88-inch stainless steel barrels and aluminum alloy frames that bring the total weight down to a mere 15.6 ounces. The 432 has a black finish and the 632 has a matte stainless finish.
