Request permission to join the club, please. Picked up a new 642 a week ago today.
I basically wanted something that would be very close to the full hammered, all steel .38 snub I have carried for years and want to semi-retire. I also wanted something that was lighter and more pocketable, yet just as reliable.
This is perfect. Only shot a cylinder's worth through it, but it appears that all is well. I put a little bit of black electrical tape over the last half inch of the butt to "personalize" it and help cover the exposed gray-colored back strap and bottom. I actually like the look of the 442 better, and very nearly got that instead. Anyway, happy camper here and now my very first gun can get a much-needed break.
