Smith & Wesson 296 Airlite Ti – .44 S&W SPL – Pre-Lock – Titanium CCW

This is a no reserve penny auction for a Smith & Wesson 296 Airlite Ti revolver in .44 Special. Serial number- CDJ6486. This 296 TI is in great condition and includes the original case, literature, and lock! The Smith & Wesson Model 296 AirLite TI is a double action only revolver chambered in .44 Special. It is built on a scandium alloy "L" frame and has a titanium cylinder giving it a distinctive two-tone appearance. In outline it resembles a larger version of the Smith & Wesson Model 649, however whilst the Model 649 has a semi concealed hammer which can still be cocked for single action use, the hammer on the Model 296 is entirely internal. Due to its somewhat unusual appearance, niche caliber, and a relatively large size for its intended purpose as a concealed carry revolver, the Model 296 proved unpopular and hence it was discontinued after only 2 years of production but has recently regained a following!
