Ugly 642

Bought this thing today off an older gentleman. I wanted a backup gun and no frills revolver. I was going to get taurus 85 as I had good luck with one prior but this one fell into my lap and American made even for a worn finish Trump's anything made anywhere else. Hope to change out the grips with some boots Altamonts and get a good pocket or ankle holster.

They do make great carry pieces, but........did you double check for frame cracks under the barrel.

I actually did. The gun is solid more than me anyway

This must be the "Jerry Miculek 200yard special."

Guess I'm missing it. The gun looks like every other 642 I've seen.

Looks like you made a good choice. On my S&W snubbies I like either the factory wood grips with a Tyler T-Grip adapter (S&W MOdel 649), or else the factory boot grips which came with the gun (Model 638). For an IWB holster I like the DeSantis SOF-TUCK; have one of their Nemesis pocket holsters for pocket carry.

I just sent off for a Tyler T for my Redhawk, think I'm the only guy under 30 who knows about them. This one will probably get that treatment to at some point. I highly wish Tyler MFG would let your order online. Haven't sent a letter since the army.

BK grips allows online ordering. That's all I use nowadays. Not aluminum, though.

I liked what I saw but it seems Ruger is not on this list, I'll keep these guys in mind for the 642
