Factory original Smith & Wesson Model 940 frames are virtually impossible to find sold as a standalone item because S&W does not sell bare revolver frames directly to consumers.Check large specialty parts dealers like Numrich Gun Parts. They frequently acquire and part-out decommissioned or damaged revolvers.

Because Smith & Wesson generally does not sell stripped revolver frames, you will not be able to purchase a bare frame directly from the factory. Your best option for an original 1991 S&W Model 940 frame is sourcing an existing registered frame from online firearm auction sites.Specific strategies and resources for your search include:GunBr0ker: Check the GunBr0ker marketplace for "S&W Model 940 frame" or "S&W 940 parts kit." Since frames are considered the serialized firearm, any purchase will require a local Federal Firearms License (FFL) dealer to handle the transfer.Specialized Parts Dealers: Contact specialists who regularly break down used or surplus firearms, such as Numrich Gun Parts or Jack First Inc, to see if they have a stripped 90s-era stainless J-frame available in their inventory.
