My wife surprised me recently by declaring that she would like to have a concealable handgun. This is a 180 degree turn around for her, but she says that it has become dangerous enough out there to make sense to carry one.
I think that the S&W 642 will be a good fit for her, but I have some questions, as there seems to be a few different types of 642 revolvers.
Are all of them stainless?
One I hear about is a 'no lock'. Is the lock a safety, or some sort of lock for storage purposes? Why does it seem so desireable not to have this feature on the gun, since one wouldn't have to use it if they chose not to?
Are all of the SW 642 revolvers considered "Air Weight"?
Is the recoil from this small handgun excessive for most women, or not too bad?
Although I have a Glock 27, I think that I'd like to have a 642 for myself too. It seems like a great carry gun that would be a comfortable carry.
Thanks for any comments.
