Don't know which pocket holsters you may have tried but I have had good luck - and fairly quick, clean draws with my 642 - using a cheap Uncle Mike's for pants pockets and a Mika for the lower pockets of cargo pants or shorts. The gun stays in the Mika holster very well in the pocket but comes...

I have bought online from Gallery of Guns and Shooters of Jacksonville. The best deals and quickest shipment have been the ones I bought at "Shooters" (shootersjax.com); couldn't have been happier with those purchases.

You said, "Its so weird, one day i want this, then that, then the other....GRRRR." I'm sure I can speak for practically everyone on the forum when I say that we have all been there. I started out about a year and a half ago to replace a like new S&W Model 13 .357 revolver (which I wish I...

My primary carry is an M&P 9c but I often switch to a 642 - either in an Uncle Mikes pocket holster or a Don Hume H715 IWB. No matter which rig I use when I carry the 642, it's so light and comfortable that I practically forget it's there. Depending on what type of jeans you wear, pocket...

gordy Great idea for homeade snap caps. I'll bring a few cases home with me the next time I take my 642 to the range. Question: Would this type of do-it-yourself snap cap also work with .22LR rimfire ammo?

After I bought a M&P 9 full-size, I decided I also wanted the compact version. Sold a S&W Model 13 .357 magnum that I had bought new in 1980 or '81 that I had fired only about 40 times. Love the 9c but wish I hadn't sold the .357. On the bright side, I sold it to my son-in-law so I can see it...

(For myusername01 - or anyone else who knows the answer.) Is the mouth of the Don Hume 715 reinforced enough to enable easy reholstering? I bought an inexpensive Kirkpatrick Leather holster for my 642 and it's all but impossible to reholster without dropping your pants.

Bought a 642 with CT grips. The laser is okay, but I would be just as happy without it.

Isn't S&W still in Massachusetts??? I thought they were, although I wish they'd move their operation to Texas!

Sounds like you don't want an IWB, but Crossbreed SuperTuck works for me and my M&P 9c.

Early Santa for DAdams Looks like Early Santa was good to you, DAdams. Thanks to you for recommending ammunitiontogo.com for the Speer Gold Dot 135 gr +P ammo. I checked in with them periodically and finally caught them a couple of weeks ago with some in stock. I noticed in the pictures...

Hey, Grease Monkey, which Galco are you using with your 642? I have been trying to make a holster decision for some time now. So far, I only carry mine in an Uncle Mike's pocket holster but am researching and trying to decide on the best IWB for the 4 to 5 o'clock position. I would appreciate...

Anyone out there familiar with R Grizzle IWB holsters? I'm particulary interested in either a "Southern Sidekick" or a "Southern Man" model and would be using it to carry a S&W 642 .38.

Presently caarrying Hornady Critical Defense 115 gr. Does anyone have experience with that ammo?

Texas Backlog Eases The backlog of applications in Texas has eased off. I received my CHL last week. It took less than 80 days from classroom to plastic in hand. The fee is halved ($70) if you have served in the military or are a senior citizen.

I have been a pistol owner for many years. American citizens "displaced" by Hurricane Katrina and given high dollar residences in apartments near my home raised the crime rate in my neighborhood tenfold (actually more like 40 to 50 percent). That, plus the election of the sorriest president...

For iwilc2: Which Don Hume are you using and what is the approximate cant? My carry license is "in the mail" and I still haven't been able to decide on a holster but have been leaning toward an IWB. Probably, Don Hume, Crossbreed or MTAC. I would welcome input from others who carry the...

FFL Transfer Fees gunbroker.com has a link on their website where you can enter your ZIP code and obtain a long list of FFL holders in your area. It gives their address, phone number, and the amount they charge to transfer. I found one there that is about 6 miles from my home and charges...

I bought my 642 with factory-installed CT grips. Cost was about $70 less than buying the gun and then adding the grips (at the lowest online price I could find). I believe the laser would be very helpful in a self defense situation when split seconds count and there is no time to get a good...

Sounds like you may need to carry something a little smaller, qwert65, like maybe a S&W M&P Compact.
