Buying a lightweight J frame... hammer or no hammer?

[rainbowbob]

Here's one...S&W Model 40 Centennial

That's what I'm talkin' about...nice one, C&L!

I sure like the looks of the 442 as well. Its a tough choice between that and the 642. I might have to get one of each.

One of each must be a good idea. I have both, but I'll likely give one to my daughter (her choice). Both have good triggers, better than the 5 or 6 Chiefs Specials that have passed through my hands all of which received trigger jobs. They have become my favorite "J" frame.

heyyyyy.....who did the hammer work on that Colt dick?

It came from The Colt Custom Shop that way.

an S&W 642 (centennial), with a wolfe spring kit and a bit of time with a stone on the rebound slide and DA sear make for a VERY tolerable trigger pull for a newer J-frame.

tis what sits in my pocket nearly every day, and sits on the dresser every night.

My wife, who has difficulty with some DA trigger-pulls, has no trouble at all with my stock, recent-production non-lock 442. IMO, It's a near-perfect pocket-gun.
