Someone was asking about a trigger job. Check out this link. MUCH easier than just dry-firing. http://tinyurl.com/2r29hh

I have strips and speed-loaders, but frankly speaking a small pouch of 10 rds in my pocket works fine. Statistics indicate you will almost never get through more than a couple of rds in a defensive situation.

Galco Holster Here are the pictures you asked for. I use this same model holster for my .380, .45, and my new .38 642-2, shown here. The fit is perfect. Snug against your waist. Has a FBI cant for very fast draw. Holds weapon even while running. Minimal printing under a shirt. More info...

Galco CON-158B I had this in the wrong forum. It's better here :) My holster finally came in (was backordered). It's a Galco CON-158B for my 642-2 with Crimson LG-405 Laser Grips. It's fits like a glove (pre-formed and the barrel extends to a perfect 1/4" from the bottom). It also wears...

My holster finally came in (was backordered). It's a Galco CON-158B for my 642-2 with Crimson LG-405 Laser Grips. It's fits like a glove (pre-formed and the barrel extends to a perfect 1/4" from the bottom). It also wears very close to your waist. I use this same holster for all my carry...

Cylinders do line up nicely, no end-shake, with a gap much smaller than a credit card (probably about .003 at most). However, I do get a little cylinder side to side wiggle (slight). Does your 642 fully lock the cylinder with the trigger held firmly back?

I noticed my lastest box of USA .38 (standard pressure) FMJ rounds from Wal-Mart (130gn) have flat tops. I recall my previous ammo under the same label had a rounded head. Even the Winchester site http://tinyurl.com/23kvyv shows the .38 USA FMJ round with a rounded head, not flat. Any...

jad0110: Metal polish would work fine. Make sure you shine up the contact surfaces. It's easy to see what to work on when it's open. I have used Flitz and it's good, but it will take more time than the compound I used. As for the rebound spring, I did a lot of research before taking it...

Did the complete trigger job today on my 642-2 today. Moved from the 8.5lb stock hammer spring to Wolff's 8.0lb, and replaced the 18lb trigger rebound spring with a Wolff 13lb. Also buffed the trigger block, inside of the frame where it drags, sear, hammer spring strut, etc. Trigger has no...

I also just ordered the CTC 405 lasergrips for my 642 from Discovery Optics for $229 = Free shipping

Just got badk from the range My new 642 shoots even better than I thought it would. Used a variety of .38and .38+P. I like the Winchester 130gr. FMJ the best. The +P's are pretty stout, but managable. USE SHOOTING GLOVES. It makes a world of difference. I was able to shoot 200 rds, no...

Most beautiful gun I every owned I love this gun. It's a proven performer. I have 2,100 rounds through her, and yes, I keep her in this condition. That's how much I respect this piece :) MY MODIFICATIONS (note: when using a Dremel on the internals, do NOT take off any metal! Only use a...

I found the answer looking at the Numrich parts diagram at http://tinyurl.com/yswjss

Does the rubber plunger at the end of the hammer strut go cone shape up or cone shape down?

Here is the one I just got. http://tinyurl.com/y9kbng Is it a 642-2 ?

What is the difference? Thanks.

With the cylinder swung out, the back edge touches the frame slightly.

Add me to the list. Bought a S&W 642 today. Did anyone notice the S&W page at http://tinyurl.com/y9kbng incorrectly states this as a .38 (not +P) gun? It should say .38 +P

Fastbolt, thanks for the detailed reply. Good info. I also have the original 4513TSW 6rd (without tactical rail), which is the same as the 4516 (steel version). I did more research and I am thinking the mechanism for the casing getting in front of the extractor during feeding is due to the...

S&W 4513TSW. Having feed problems. When a new round is ripped from the magazine, it should slide up and under the extractor. Sometimes I get a round that slides up but gets in front of the extractor. When the slide tries to close, it does not go fully into battery as casing head is between the...
