SMITH & WESSON 940

The 940 is back, and it only took Smith about twenty-five years.

Five rounds of 9mm in an all-stainless J-frame, fed by moon clips so reloads drop in and eject clean — three in the box. No internal lock, fully enclosed hammer, nothing on the outside to catch a shirt on the way up. XS tritium front night sight with a dovetailed U-notch rear, Hogue OverMolded Bantam grips, and 23 ounces of steel to soak up what 9mm hands back.

Finally, a snub that eats the same ammo as everything else you own.
