First Look: Smith & Wesson Model 940-3

Smith & Wesson has just announced the Model 940-3, a J-Frame snubby in 9mm.

The latest carry revolver from Smith & Wesson is the Model 940-3. Chambered for 9mm Luger and fed via moon clip, this stainless steel snub-nose features a 2.17-inch barrel, a svelte weight of 23 ounces and a width of just 1.3 inches thanks to its 5-shot fluted cylinder. Better yet, it’s built on a no-lock frame.

The Model 940-3 also has a concealed hammer to provide a snag-free draw, but that means it’s double-action-only as well. Other features include its Tritium XS front night sight, U-notch dovetail rear sight and Hogue Over-Molded Rubber Bantam grip with finger grooves and texturing for a comfortable yet secure hold.
