Let me first start by saying that my only experience with revolvers was my Uncles old service revolver that my Dad and I shot once a year, for about 12 shots (6 for him, 6 for me). It was a "neat thing", then we put it away.
I grew up (for pistols) on semis- Makarov, Llama, etc. I decided that I wanted a pocket gun, and the PPk/S was too heavy. I wanted something light. Yes, there was the 3AT and the PM9, both nice, but they didn't "do it for me". Then I say a Model 37, which went to a 442, then I decided (thanks to A LOT of research on THR) on the 642 for my "been dry for a year" reward/ pocket gun. I have had it for a bit, but due to a death in the family, shot it today for the first time. One word- "WOW".
It did this really wierd thing- it went bang EVERY TIME I PULLED THE TRIGGER. Wow. What a change. My P22 is about 99%, the PPK/S about 80%. I only shot about 60 rounds or so, but they all went bang.
I was at about 15 yards, consistently hit the target, consistenly a bit on the high side, but if I'm aiming for the torso, and hit the face of a BG, so be it.
It is definately not a target gun, but I probably could have put a nother 60 -100 rounds though it before I got too tired. I have been putting in my pocket in an Uncle Mike's pocket holster, and it dissapears.
Shot range bullets, Glaser Silvers (only 2, not much difference) and some +p. bit of a difference between the 2!
