Love the 642s guys. Some real beauts!
Nail polish or Testor''s model paint is about as good as it gets.I'm sure it's been covered 1000+ times in various threads on thr, but does anyone have any strong recommendations for front sight paint? (Does anyone suggest anything better or more durable than finger nail polish?) This will be the most likely first "upgrade" to my 442...
For me, it was largely about the plastic... I already have a couple ccw polymer Rugers (LC9 & SR9c) I'm just not 100% sold on a plastic revolver. If I'm going to carry a 5 shot snubbie, it's going to be a S&WHi guys,
Been browsing all three parts the club has to offer and I have a couple questions. Thinking about picking up a 442/642 but also thinking about the Ruger LCR. Wondering what made you pick the smith over the ruger.
Thanks!

For me it was the ease of pulling it out of my pocket, I thought the trigger was a little better on the Ruger. It seemed to have a lesser profile looking down at my pocket. Its me EDC, in a bulldog pocket holster.Hi guys,

Hi All,
New to the forum - happy to be here. I've read though the entirety of the three parts of the club a few times over - needless to say, the bug has bit me.
After carrying a Glock 19 daily for the past year and a half or so, I picked up a NIB 642-2 for those times when I don't feel like concealing a combat pistol (which seems to be more and more often). When people ask me about the 642, I find myself saying you just "forget it's there." It's a joy to carry, and with regular practice I'm becoming more comfortable with >10 yd shooting. Truly a piece that reflects the skill of the shooter.
I'm currently carrying in a DeSantis Nemesis pocket holster ("currently" as in it's in my right front jeans pocket as I type this from the couch). I ordered a Mika round-cut which should be here in a few weeks, an event which I am very much looking forward to.
Here's a picture of my baby, alongside my "woodland gun," a 4" S&W 686+.
Cheers,
Leif
