For sale is a Smith & Wesson Model 49 Bodyguard double-action revolver in .38 Spl. Serial number- 10J916. This revolver is in good condition and comes equipped with a Hogue rubber grip. When the Smith & Wesson Chiefs Special made its debut in 1950, many hailed it as the perfect backup gun. To address that issue, in 1955, the company introduced an altered version. It sported a redesigned frame with an integral hump that concealed a low-contoured hammer, and its flattened spur barely protruded above the top of the hump. Thus, the double-action revolver could still be manually cocked for aimed single-action fire. Smith & Wesson dubbed this innovative variation the Bodyguard.
