Would anyone have some side by side pics that would compare a 642 to a sig p232?
I'm looking at both of these for a carry option and would like to hear your pros and cons between these two.
 
Others will chime in with the pros and cons of each, so I'll leave it to them. Know, though, that comparing dimensions only provides part of the picture--especially if carrying in a front pocket (in which case the revolver would print less.) Lots of reasons to love the Sig, though.
 
I know that they are 2 totally different types, and seeing a picture will basically only show me the difference in dimensions, but I'm having a hard time choosing between the two, and basically have narrowed it down between these two. I have had a few kel-tecs and a lcp, they are just not for me.
I have a sig 229 and love it, but just gets a little heavy and uncomfortable to carry all day. That's why I thought of the blued 232, much lighter and slim (yes also .380 not 9mm, but I am ok with that). Also can still fit all fingers on the grip. The 232 probably isn't as easy to just throw in a coat or pant pocket (with a holster) as the 642.
The 642, although I can't fit all fingers on the grip, is still very comfortable. Easy to just throw in a pocket or move to a hip holster etc.. This gun intrigues me with a laser grip, even though I know you can get that with the 232 also I think.
The 642 has fewer rounds than the 232

Somebody please help before I just buy both of them!!!
I can't make a decision.

if there is any way you could shoot a lightweight/airwieght 2" .38spl. beforehand that might be helpful. For all I know you have, but light weight .38spl with 2" barrel are not real fun to shoot alot and i'm not overly recoil sensitive. My own personal accuracy was also much better with .380 auto than .38 snub. Just my 2 cents, I bought and sold two snub .38's before deciding not for me.
