Page 25, post #602.
Haven't shot my x42 in a while,
but it rides daily on my side.
Plan to get to the range this week during break.
Just finished a significant task in the studio:
Got a major pneumonia hole plugged up.
(We didn't quite get it buttoned up during the remodel.
Much warmer now around the wood stove).
Going to go eat some cold chicken with reheated
mash potatoes and kale as a bed time snack..
Will sleep near the wood stove tonight as there are reports of
renegade punk reindeer doing damage to roof tops in the neighborhood ...

My most favorite time of the year....
I wish all my friends here at the club a very Merry Christmas and a most especially Happy and Prosperous New Year.
The 642 club is still such a special place, and I'm thankful we are all here.
As always, revolvers (and particularly the 642) rule!!
Peace,

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 642’ers,
Hello 642'ers,
Our family would like to extend our sincere holiday wishes to you all. This club has contributed to what I feel is one of my greatest acquisitions…my 642!
This trusted colleague has found a home with me at work and play. If I could only choose one hand gun to own it would be my 642 with out any reservation. Thank you 642 Club!

'Twas the night before Christmas,
when all through the house,
not a creature was stirring,
not even a mouse.
The Micas were hung by the chimney with care,
in hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there.
Club members were nestled all snug in their beds,
while visions of gold dots danced in their heads.
Wait ... that doesn't sound right ...

Just wanted to say Merry Christmas to everyone.
Lost a companion and long member of my family Saturday Night. At around 11:15 my companion of 20 years "Buster" passed away of what appeared to be a massive heart attack.
I was lucky enough to see him and his sister being born and was fortunate enough to have been with him for almost every day of his life over the last 20 years.
I loved buster more than anything or anyone in the world. Today I have a heavy heart.
Bonds in life to people, pets or things are special. Only when you loose someone who fills that void do you truly know how lucky you are.
IF you still have them, tell your mom, dad, Grand mom or pop, uncle, brother, sister, daughter, son, Friend and most espically your pet who loves you unconditionally you love them.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Sorry to hear about Buster.. I have spent my life caring for critters of one kind of another.
It is harder to lose a pet than a family member or friend in my opinion.
I like to think that the following poem is true, and I have a whole herd of friends waiting there for me..
Rainbow Bridge.
Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.
When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.
All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.
They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.
You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.
Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....

Glockman19, we feel you pain... here's something I wrote after losing our beloved Maggie...(I can post it, but I still can't read it...)
God Wanted a Dog...
A dog that loved her people completely.
A dog that would look Him straight in the eye.
A dog with a sense of humor, and the knowledge of when to use it.
A friend to everyone, two or four-legged.
An easy-going dog, not moody or melancholy, and never mean-spirited.
A dog with a waggy tail, and bright shiny eyes.
A dog who knows what He's thinking, sometimes before He even knows.
A dog who gives hugs, and loves laps.
A dog who understands the importance of a good nap.
One who's always ready for a walk, or a ride.
A dog who's strong-willed and independent,
and lets Him know it once in while.
One who loves water, and boating, and just being outside.
A dog who likes to stand facing the wind, ears blowing back along her
head.
One who could show her love in every sideways glance.
God wanted our Maggie, and she's with Him now.
She romps in Heaven's soft grass, the
warm sunshine on her back.
And lies at His side in the afternoon, and dreams.
BTW: I joined the CLUB! I bought a lightly used 642 (w/lock) for $250. Box and everything!

G19, my sincerest condolences to you about your loss. I very much understand.
Perhaps on another day, I'll write a few words about my former four-legged companion of 16 years, deceased for a decade. There will never be another like her.
________
bhp9mm & bglz42, welcome to the house. Help yourself to turkey, duck, BBQ or tofu surprise as you wish. There's pecan pie on the table against the far wall. Just say the secret word to the sergeant at arms with the m&p340 ... er, I mean x42 and he'll hook you up.
Oh, and let us know if you have a preference for keystroke-saving nicknames (B9 and B4? Naw, maybe not, but kinda catchy ...)
___________
JT, I'm impressed that you can name those snubs in B9's photo. I was hoping someone would. I have homework: research mods 15 and 85 (new to me).
__________
All: As I may have mentioned last year in the "old" club house <"should auld acquaintance be forgot...">, even though I don't celebrate this day in the same way that many (most?) of you do, I'm no grinch, either. I honor the season and reflect deeply on this day in my own ways.
My relationship to the season has developed differently than for some of you for several reasons, including several family deaths during the holidays when I was younger (which is part of the reason I can so relate to G19's current state of mind).
However, I support everyone's right to celebrate it (or not) in any way they wish.
(That guarantee is one of the best parts of the first amendment of the US constitution.)
What ever the season means to you, I hope you're all having
the best, most wonderful, happy, merry day and season possible.
OK, now 'scuse me, please. I gotta go have another plate of pork BBQ with more of those black eyed peas (cooked with ham hock, garlic, onion, brown sugar, black pepper and salt). Ummm um.

For anyone considering Hogue Monogrips for your 642 in a SmartCarry, here's an early report with pictures.
The additional butt length does nothing if not help draw the 642. Instead of extending "higher" it actually just extends toward the right hip a bit (with right hand carry). The extra grip area, instead, makes it easier to reach in, grip, and retrieve the 642.
The added length does nothing to change the the concealment or comfort when compared to the factory Uncle Mike's.
I have yet to actually shoot with the grips, but the added length and recoil padding covering the frame backstrap should help with my proficiency.
Hope this helps someone here.
(note: extra magazine/speed strip pouch is empty)

Sorry to hear about your loss. Christmas Eve three years ago we lost a part or our family who gave us joy everyday for almost 14 years. In fact, he still gives us joy in our memories of him. You are undoubtedly feeling right now that Buster can never be replaced; and he can't, but there is a puppy right now that won't make you forget Buster but will make you laugh, will provide you with more memories, and will love you and your family just as much in his own way. All he needs is a chance.

Thanks for the SC pics. Looks rather inconspicuous to be sure.
To those of you who have lost pets, it's a bitch, I know, and will be facing it again myself in the not to distant future. May you be soothed and comforted.
PAC Northwesterners. Here is a link for a Gig Harbor S&W get together in March. Should be plenty of 642ers.
