This video explores the Smith & Wesson Model 49 Bodyguard revolver, a compact concealed-carry firearm chambered in .38 Special. The presenter highlights its unique design, featuring a shrouded hammer that prevents snagging while still allowing for single-action cocking. The discussion traces the Model 49's lineage back to earlier J-frame revolvers and explains the evolution to the all-steel frame. A specific example is showcased: a late-production, unfired Saudi Arabian Ministry of Interior Security Services contract gun with a unique provenance, formerly owned by Richard "Stretch" Kennedy. The video emphasizes the Bodyguard's suitability for concealed carry and its historical popularity among law enforcement.
