- Опубликовано: 4 июн 2024
- The Lipsey's Exclusive Smith & Wesson Ultimate Carry J-Frame is designed to be the ultimate small frame carry revolver. Featuring an XS Tritium front sight and dovetailed u-notch rear, the Ultimate Carry has sights that are easy to see with the ability to be adjusted. Regulated for popular defensive loads of today, the UC increases the effective range of a J-Frame revolver.
The "High Horn" VZ G10 UC grip creates a comfortable firing experience that conceals as good as it feels. The improved trigger makes it easier for shooters of all skill levels to make accurate hits down range. An internal “Endurance Package” including titanium pins increases the durability of an aluminum J-Frame. The no lock Airweight frame creates a lightweight package weighing only 16 oz.
Available in Black with Black Cherry VZ G10 grips, or Stainless with Black and Gray VZ G10 Grips. Both finishes are chambered in a 5 shot .38 Special or 6 shot .32 H&R Magnum.

I'm always thrilled to see a new S&W revolver without that ugly internal lock hole. Hopefully this is a sign of things to come. The new sights, the enclosed backstrap boot grips, factory chamfering, and the 32 H&R Magnum chambering to allow for six shots in a J-frame are absolutely delightful features. I can only hope that a similar configuration is planned for a K-frame sometime soon!
The Hillary Hole.
For real did they decide they no longer like money ?
These models (the 642 and 442) already existed without the lock....
@@finalcountdown7658so don’t buy one 😂
@mofozi Apparently, you're not too smart. What does me clarifying that the 642 and 442 already existed without the lock (as do other S&W Centennials) have anything to do with whether I want to purchase one or not?
This is the exact gun I’ve wanted for 20 years. Kudos Lipsey’s, I’m in for one!
These are what a J-Frame always should have been.
These are both similar to the 640 pro series which had the adjustable sights and slab barrels.
So these are really nothing new. Just nicer and more options.
@@williamryan9195 better trigger, better grip profile, almost half a pound lighter than the 640, sights specifically regulated to the most common carry loads today.
@@adamw4469 If you look at the J-frame history these are really are just the remake/red-do of the 640 pro series.Even the VZ g-10 shape and palm swell are basically the same profile as the old Pachmayr Gripper grips. I agree the Centennial Air weights were lighter that the 640. But the 640 is far better a weighted handgun for the cartridge it shoots. I have the 442 Pro series and it was the first thing I switched . I don't use the sights anyway. But lots of users wanted them so I am glad they offered them to those who think they need them.
Just like the old air weights of the 70’s
I'm in! You had me at 32 H&R magnum!
Had me at trigger reach for large hands
32 H&R Mag is an awesome caliber, isn't it.
@@mrchavez1967 Yes, it is!
Finally someone the j frame everyone wanted. Excellent job guys.
Pretty close to the performance center version
Thanks!
Day late and a dollar short now that Kimber has the K6xs six shot revolver that’s the same size as the five shot j-frame.
@@Theophilus1968 how much does the Kimber weigh? I just checked. 15.9 ounces. The S&W is what I've carried since 1992 and the right choice for me. It comes down to the cylinder release for me. The Kimber has an MSRP of $679 which is less.
The .32 is a winner. Thanks from another old revolver guy.
Did not expect this. Now I have to buy one in 32. Nicely done gents
Every time I think I’m out they pull me back in. I will be looking for one.
Same here. Saving all my nickels now. lol. This looks great. I hope they make a ton of them.
LMFBO😂
WOW! These look GREAT! Awesome upgrades like the sights, grips, trigger, chamfering. And the biggest bonus is NO Hillary hole.
What's a Hillary Hole ?
Sound very good but also expensive. To bring back 32 H&R is fantastic! S&W should bring back 32 H&R as stock revolver! A 7 shot .32 H&R airweight k frame would be very nice also. UPDATE I looked hat their hp MSRP $759 is less than I thought it would be. From the video I thought it would be around 1000.
327 Federal would have been nice to see as well
They should have but I'll take 32H&R!
The alloy frame can’t handle the pressure of the Fed Mag round. They would have had to use scandium and it would have been over $1,000. Look at the crazy price of a 340PD. Plus Fed Mags are horribly punished to shoot.
Would require different frame.
Every current production centerfire scandium frame gun is over $1000@@jodynorris6975
@@jodynorris6975 I believe Rob is basing that on what the scadnium frames (which a lightweight 327mag would need to beento handle the pressures) that S&W currently make, cost.
By using the aluminum frame and steel cylinders, within the limits of pressure of these cartridges, the cost is kept down.
What an awesome project. Looks like everyone knocked it out of the park.
Y'all hit it out of the park with this one! I absolutely love these revolvers.
Absolutely excited about this. Have carried a j frame for 15 years. Have been hunting a 32 S&W j frame that I could afford for about 4 years. Carry a J frame daily off duty and will continue to do so. Thank you for putting together a package like this. I also noticed no lock, a definite plus.
The 32s are gonna sale like hotcakes. Hopefully S&W can keep the quality control up.
Man this is exactly what the j frame needed. I have to have one.
Thank you for this!! I already have nearly 400 rounds through my 632 and I just picked it up 2 weeks ago. It is so fun to shoot and as accurate as my larger wheel guns. The action is smooth and predictable. I love it!!! Thanks for all your work!!!!!
I’ve been carrying a lightweight J Frame since ‘68 & am looking forward to trying one of these new ones.
Looking forward to it! Brining back .32 H&R is a positive!
Not in the Biden ammo marker
@@logangodofcandy what is that?
Finally! Another option for 32 HR Mag! One of my favorite rounds. And without "the hole"? I'll be picking one up!
Me too.The 32 should have always been a staple in their lineup.
32 H&R is the best caliber for airweight snubnose.
Man, everything about me wants a 32 Mag, but every single time I look for ammo..... Nothing. That's the only thing holding me back.
@@ericthered7226same here, only defensive loads i can find are from double tap and buffalo bore
@@ericthered7226That's my only catch too, availability, that's why I was surprised Lipsey's/Smith and Wesson offered that chambering.
Thank you guys for doing this, I will order both models in 32. This was long overdue
This is awesome! I plan on buying several of the 432s and 632s!
632 !!! I am so happy you brought it back! Next make a .327 Fed Mag.
I’m not sure why they didn’t go with .327 Fed Mag, because you could still use .32 H&R Mag, and the various other .32 rounds too.
@@kingdave77 Same. Seems a missed opportunity, but then again, they've suffered from the 'NIH' (Not Invented Here) mentality before.
I have a 632-2 in 327
@@kingdave77 Because an aluminium frame cant handle 357 mag nore 327 mag!
Dose it HAVE TO BE Aluminum. Would definitely buy a 327!
Next tell s&w to bring back the m&p360 in 9mm 327fed 357/38. And go ahead and have em bring back the nightguard series too
Nightguard guns were EXPENSIVE guns that didn't sell very well.
Adjusted for inflation, you're looking at a $1300 revolver.
They just need to bring back scandium frames
I'm all-in for collecting precious metals. And the firearms industry keeps me collecting some nice ones.
The 432/632 seems like the hipster gun without the rarity. And that's a good thing.
Amazing! The J frame I have been looking for.
WOOHOO!!!!! A new .32 mag revolver. I’m SO pumped! Y’all are knocking it out of the park
About time ! Our j frames have needed better sights for a long long time!
I had a 642 for a long time. Bought an M&P 340 because of the big, luminescent front sight. Both models have been available as separate SKUs without the infernal lock for years.
That said, I think Lipsey’s really hit the ball out of the park with these special orders. The drift adjustable rear sight is simple but great. I’m going to consider VZ 320 “wrap around grips” for my J-frames.
My favorite carry gun is still the J frame and always will be. This is perfect and I am very excited to pick one up. Thank you!
I hope S&W produces enough of them to meet demand. It will be a big seller.
Great work guys. I'm so happy to hear that the .32 is back! Thanks for making it happen.
I was hoping it would be available in 33 or 327 and was not disappointed! I think it’s ideal for a small revolver like this. I often carry a Ruger LCR in 327, but loaded with 32 H&R, but I’m a metal guy when it comes to guns so I might have to do a little swap!
I carried my 327 LCR for quite awhile and it’s a pretty great package especially with that 327 federal mag punch, but I think I’d love that black 632 with those cool grips and the great sights! I’ve got a a 642 pro but the trigger is so heavy and such a long pull I’m not very accurate past like 7 yards. 🤷♂️
Please don’t stop making these. It’s such a cool concept and it fixes the only reasons I wouldn’t want the original 442
I have a smith and wesson in 32, it took me forever to find it and have been carrying it everyday for over a year and a half. I love it but it has the blade sights. Ammo is a nightmare to find I have to buy it from gunbroker at a premium. Hopefully with this coming out manufacturers will ramp up production on the 32 h and r magnums.
Nice, finally a descent set of sights on the J-frame alloy revolvers, but why no 3" barrel options (gives the full length ejector rod). Any chance Lipsey's can get S&W to bring back the Night Guard series revolvers with 3" barrels? I believe a 3" barreled 315 and 396 would be a hot sellers for us revolver shooters out here.
Wow, Centennial J’s remain a favorite. These look good. I’ll have to talk with my local store.
I've added Pachmyer round rubber grips on both my 642 and Charter Arms Undercover, both were greatly improved.
You guys are killing it. Between this and the Gen 1 Glock you guys did I have been truly spoiled. I gotta get one of these.
I’m so excited to see these. You all knocked it out of the park. So many of the things you’ve done are things I do to my own revolvers. Being able to buy something ready to go out of the box is awesome. The 642 will go great companions to my 342Ti, 340PD, and 640 Pro.
Looks like these are some great features for the j-frame!
Great info and considerations from your experience. Thank you for sharing.
Yes! I've used a 642 as my NPE gun for 16 years, I will have at least one of these.
I like it. Would be nice to make a 686 + version.
This is freaking awesome.
I love mine. VZ grips look great and help me keep hold while shooting. Great EDC.
I will be paying close attention to Lipsey from now on ❤
I've been carrying my smith 642 performance for years great gun . I really want this upgraded one
I. NEED. THIS!!!!
For those that state 5 rounds is not enough, carry 2. New York reload and redundancy and can share one if needed. Carry speed strips for additional rounds. Carry a 3rd in high threat situations.
Been looking at a carry gun for my wife. I cant wait to se this on the shelf!!!
Wish more companies asked Darryl and Bryan what revolver models to make.
Those features need to be standard on all J-frames. Any gun smiths, or even S&W’s shop performing work to install those sights and other features on older Js would be welcome. Will the grips become available for purchase?
I’d love to see a 3” version, maybe borrowing the Mdl 60 Pro Series beveled underlug.
Ya know, being able to have input on something like this would actually probably bring me back into the industry.
That would be excellent. I'd buy it
i dont have too many revolvers but loved this content thanks. (need to add more to my collection)
I’m in but if they offer it in 357 later I’ll be getting one of those. A M&P 360 and M&P 340 with these features would truly be the ultimate.
Need this in a 357 mag! I'd buy one in a heartbeat if you gave the model 60 this same makeover!
The 340PD's sight is pinned and can be replaced with a Trijicon
Looks great. Interesting though they regulated the .38's sights for a round that has been unavailable for about 3 years now! Maybe get Speer to start supplying some of those 135 loads to retail?
Love the grips. My 360 needs these for the 357 mag given the weight is only 11oz. I wish they had put the 327 federal mag and I’d rush out to buy one.
Duh, because revolvers are awesome carry pistols! I prefer the K frames, but this sounds well-thought. I think my clients will like these like they do the latest Magnum K frames.
I was just looking into getting A 642 and man I’m glad I came across yall on TFB TV definitely gotta get me one from Lipseys no doubt 🔥🔥
This is literally a pistol that has ALL the upgrades you could want, from the factory!
What an awesome job you guys have done.
5:25 now I know why there’s always dings and dents on new smith and Wesson revolvers. They just toss them into a bin with other parts.
Love my 640 Pro. The best J frame made by S&W
Looks good but Kimber k6s is the winner here offers everything with 6 rounds 38+p. I own the 340 and 638 so I’m a smith guy but not waiting forever for 6 round j frame.
These are smaller lighter guns. The comparison would be the k6 aluminum in 38, which has trash sights. Same price range. Similar weight.
I'll take the Kimber over a steel j frame, but Smith has the better aluminum gun with this version
Excellent❤, I love my 327 Smith but at times it is a tad to large and not a deep conceal carry.
Your take on the J frame looks to me as the answer to my demand for a modernized revolver approach.
I will definetly look more closely into it.
I’ve been looking for my first J frame and this may be the one for me.
S&W didn’t stand up to their "lifetime warranty "; they sent my j frame back stating it was unrepairable. Best of luck with your new S&W purchase. ;-)
What happened?
@@georgedasani9095 nothing, that's the point!
Love those those sights! Wish my 642 had them
Great job and much needed!
Looks great .
YES! I tried a 442 a while back but sold it because I couldn't find any grips that added trigger reach without extending below the grip frame and making the gun up-pocketable. I've also been wanting good sights for a long time. This really is the ultimate snubby revolver. Now do it in a K-frame.
Hogue makes some really great grips for these guns. The longer one is the easiest to shoot. The middle sized one is slightly smaller but still good. The small one which I don't recommend is about the same size as factory
Very very nice updated revolver
About time fellows! Been waiting for this for a long time.
Can't find anywhere to order this or preorder yet but would love to have one!
Got one, and love it. Plan on buying a second as a backup.
Also have a Model 60.
I am very excited for these to start rolling out. The S&W lever action grabbed a lot of attention, but these (especially the .32 ones) are gonna be a real dream pocket gun. As someone who carries a .38 j frame and who has an old .32 long j frame, the .32 H&R j frame is gonna be an immediate buy for me.
Very good, the only thing missing is moonclip compatibility.
ive carried a 638 since 88. i have 638-3 with full length ejector. points and conceal better then 2 CT green laser, trigger job and about 7k rounds plus 20k dry fires
i would love 8 shot .22 magnum in 638...i love still able do a single action shot
Great looking gun. Love my Kimber K6xs, though. You really can't go wrong with either.
a great video & revolver.
So.. When are these going to be available? I love wadcutters in a snub and you had me sold when you mentioned 148 grain dialed in with those beautiful sights.
Looking like late February availability!
Any word on MSRP yet?
@@glockmpw$759.00
Gotta be over $800. Especially on the 32. Gotta pay for all that first time tooling and those VZ grips.
I millied my 642 sights down to add a big dot sight , better sights are awesome not having to do triggerwork is another bonus which I have also done
They should add 327 mag, can shoot anything the 32 HH can. My other wish would be a 30 SC version that used moon clips. Higher capacity and would be much cheaper than 32 HH, at least from prices I see online.
That’s great to hear . Thanks
I carry a 432 PD, and I plan to upgrade soon!
Wow, sweet looking snub nose J frame…
I handled this Lipsey's J-Frame at Shot-Show... On my WANT List to add to my J-Frame Collection! "Very Nice" ';-)
You are to be congratulated for doing what S & W should have done years ago. I have a blued 32 H & R Mag on order. I hope that the fit and finish is at the level I expect and you intend it to be
I really hope these catch on!
I would LOVE to see a 3 inch 327 Federal Magnum with these same exact upgrades with a shrouded or exposed hammer! That might be the ultimate do-it-all revolver; carry, hiking, and kit gun.
I understand Lipsey's has an exclusive LCRX that fits that bill, but man they're hard to come by.
Thanks for this video guys!! I've been carrying an external hammer 642 for bout 12 years now...also sometimes carry my Taurus 327 mag for the extra round...this 32 mag really sounds interesting !! Y'all probably just made an old "wheel gun toting guy" just buy another pistol!! Got to mention my third alternate carry Ruger Lcrx 38+P...another great carry gun!
O man I just bought a 340 pd for 1100 bucks. Now want one of these also.
I still think the PC Model 19 Carry Comps are the pinnacle of carry revolvers... I might like to see one with a titanium alloy cylinder and bobbed hammer. Just slightly lighter moving parts, like the 242 or 386 PD L frames or the 315 Night Guard K frame. Keep the steel frame and port to soak up the recoil. 357 hits hard like a 10mm, but with higher sectional density.
I want one !
This should replace the standard J-Frame SKUs in the S&W catalog. Well done!
My 642 performance center kicks like a damn mule, I’m excited for this
I get that it’s nostalgic to keep a five shot revolver around but there are SO many better options that are smaller, lighter, and carry twice the ammunition.
Love it! Been looking for a lightweight revolver in .38 special as a back-up gun. Where can I get one of these?
Look great. I prefer Altamont Bateleur style grips, but that's an easy fix. Everything else is spot on. Do wish you, or someone, would consider doing a similar upgrade to the 638, that would be my true ultimate carry J frame.
I think you're the first person I've heard say that they like Alamont grips.
@@ericthered7226 They look good, feel good, and work well for me. But I'd consider any birdshead style grips that allows a full three finger grip a major improvement over boot style grips on a J-frame.
32 H&R Magnum!! Thank you!
Looks to be a real improvement of he J frame.
