My birthday is coming up this weekend and I gave up smoking almost a year ago. So to pat myself on the back I am jointing the club with a new 442. Put it on lay away last week, and picking it up next week. Looks like a great little gun. Cant wait to start shooting.

Congrats on kicking the smokes. Take heart if TEOTWS commences you can always take it back up. Until then you are now in control not the substance. If you were a pack a day smoker next year you can easily justify the price of a 340 or 340PD and a new Mika to accompany it.  Stay strong. You are going feel a whole lot healthier..and the best thing...you will be around to bother your loved ones. Today and to honor your new commitment.....At Ease, Dont Smokem if You Gottem.

Without going back and reading through these pages and pages, can someone tell me exactly if such a gun exists called a 442-3 or 642-3? If so, what is the difference between the -3 and the -1 and -2?
Thanks

Here is the present .38 spl and plus p line up. The 642 and 442 are both available with and without the internal lock. The current dash two line up will shoot both .38 spl and plus p rounds. Here is some history... http://www.snubnose.info/docs/m642.htm http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smith_%...son_Centennial No dash j frames were rated for .38 spl although some would argue a limited diet of plus p is ok. The s&w website has its view. The 3 you refer to may be the 3 inch barrel but that isn't a component of the dash system. Others feel free to embellish or clarify.

^ Now, that right there is classic 642 club.
And left handed, at that. Ka'pow! _____ And to stay on topic, what's the latest on the street re ammo? Anything new and hot, or are we still endorsing Speer GD 135's? |

I came here today to ask forgiveness. I love my 642 and 442 but about a month ago I got a Kahr CW9... And I like it.
Tell me all is going to be OK.

Kahr CW9....this too shall pass. It's just a temporary diversion. Wait till you experience a few FTF or FTE....
  You will be back at the alter of the J Frame Centennial. What did we used to call those things? Bottom feeders? Auto Chuckers?

Anything new and hot, or are we still endorsing Speer GD 135's? Still SGDFSB plus p 135 for me and my 340. My Wife's 642 has the BB Standard Pressure 158 gr 20C soft cast. https://www.buffalobore.com/index.ph...t_detail&p=110 SGDFSB .357 Magnum in me K Frame snub.

Probably means Speer gold dot for short barrel or something like that.

I've never seen the acronym SGDFSB before. It if is intended to mean speer gold dot for short barrel, I suggest just saying Speer or Gold Dot. Making up acronyms that don't accomplish anything beyond creating confusion isn't really beneficial.

Out of curiosity, I did a search on "SGDFSB". Found a couple of THR threads, one of which had this link in it.
http://www.ammunitiontogo.com/catalo...low-point-ammo The link itself is dead, but the title in the URL tells the story: speer gold dot short barrel. Such acronyms may be unfortunate, but some way of distinguishing various rounds is necessary, and an acronym may be better than calling them Harry and John. |

http://www.thehighroad.org/showthrea...282173&page=63 SGDFSB. If you do a Google search it will yield the third and about 10th and 13th items in the search referring to Speer Gold Dot For Short Barrel. We have used this acronym since 642 Part One IIRC. How about this? SGDFSBJHP+P135  PN29321. SGDFSB is much more descriptive than Speer or Gold Dot as there are non FSB rounds from Speer. The box is very specific "for short barrel".

SGDFSB is just plain silly...especially since: There is no .38spl Speer Gold Dot round that isn't for short barrels (even the 50 round LE marked boxes are the same round and are 'for short barrels' There are Speer Gold Dots for short barrels in multiple other calibers, so "SGDFSB" doesn't even tell you what caliber it is, for sure. Seriously...what's more efficient...an acronym virtually nobody has ever heard of that requires Google for verification or just writing out what the round is?

i would like submit my application to the x42 club! i picked up a no lock 442 two days ago, put 50 rounds through it and love it. i go a week from today to take my concealed carry class, it's going to be along couple of months til i can drop the 442 in my pocket and go, but it'll be worth it. i have a ruger sr9c, and while it is small enough it is heavy, and the 442 just fit what i was looking for. pictures to come soon.
thanks sam from kentucky |
