I was looking on my local gs's website earlier to check out their selection of J-frame Smith's (finally retiring my 36), and I came across 2 I'm confused about.
They are both 642's, one is listed as S&W M642 with one SKU number, the other is listed as S&W Model 642. They look identical, have the same info listed on the adds, etc. The M642 is not cut for moon clips (I called and asked as that was my first thought), and is $75 cheaper than the other one.
Is there something different between the M642 and 642 I'm not seeing - the lady at the shop said "looks like the 642 is hamerless and the M642 is not..."? If nothing major (ie refurbished/sub-contracted manufacture/etc...), I'm all for saving $75!
Anyone know the difference? Have experience with one or other?
THANKS IN ADVANCE!
