Standard Catalog of Smith Wesson (3 ed.). The Centennial (without grip safeties) are still made by SW, and have been copied by other revolver manufacturers. While few competitors replicated the grip safety, the internal hammer or hammerless design proved popular with other manufacturers such as Iver Johnson and Harrington Richardson. The finished product became the Model 40 and 42 chambered in.38 Special and is alternately known as the Smith Wesson Centennial as it was produced in the 100th anniversary of the founding of Smith Wesson. The.38 was based on SWs medium frame, while the.32 was based on the smaller sized 1 frame. The first model was manufactured from 1887 to 1902. They were known as The New Departure to reflect the companys new approach to designing revolvers. They were most often produced with a 2-inch, 3-inch, or 3.5-inch barrels but some 6 barrelled versions are known to exist. They were chambered in either.32 SW or.38 SW with a five-shot cylinder.
