Have an older 640 stainless .38 special only snubby. Serial # BNN####. Can this thing fire .38 special +P? Going to use Speer 135 grain +P with it.

I bought a 642-1 in 1997 when I was forced to carry a Beretta 92F as a primary by the Sheriff's Dept. I worked for. I carried it as a backup in patrol and then as a detective. Retired now. The 642-1 followed me into retirement , the Beretta stayed with them, even though they offered to let me...

870 with #4 shot and a Glock 19. In my career I saw actual badboys shot with the 12 gauge, using #4 shot. Lethal everytime. The 12 gauge with the right load is a flatout mankiller at house ranges. No denying it.

642-1 without internal lock Was going to give my son my 642-1 without a lock but am having second thoughts. I carried that baby on patrol for a number of years as a backup. Think I will buy him a new 642. He can have the non-lock 642 when I check into the Wooden Waldorf.
