Well, it is wonderful to see such a love for the S&W 642. I stumbled upon this forum just about a week ago. I am actually a newbie wannabie. I'm still waiting for my permit.
Here's my quick story.
I live in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, (no jokes please I live here and I know all it's problems and soon demise of this strange land). I finally got my head screwed on right and applied for my License to Carry, Class A permit. I have been doing much research on guns while I wait and wait and wait for the regulatory paperwork to finally slow down that they'll acutally send me my permit. I have settled on purchasing the 642 with Crimson Trace Laser Grips the LG-405 model (shorter grip). I plan to carry daily. I'd like to gather as much data as I can to be best informed when I finally get to hold my first gun.
Here are my FIRST Questions.
1.) What is the best ammo for practice rounds?
2.) What is the best ammo for carry?
3.) Can someone please explain what is involved in cleaning and maintaining a 642? How often? etc.
4.) Best Carry method. I have a slim build, 147 lb.s 5' 8". What do you all think of Smart Carry?
O.k. .....that's enought for now. I look forward to hearing from everyone. Waiting is hard enough! I applied June 6th.
Thanks,
familyman
