Did you get the round or square cut? Round cut works better in my Carhart jeans than square.
308, I ordered the square cut.
Yes, I wear Carhartt trousers, but I wouldn't call them "jeans". They're more like work pants made of heavier canvas material rather than "jean" material. (Honestly, I didn't know Carhartt makes jeans, as in denim, until just now. I see them on
their web site.)
Anyway, the pockets in my pants definitely appear square. Looks like the square cut should fit them perfectly. I've attached a snapshot. The inside bottom corner was in shadows, so I marked it with a white dot. (Note, the bottom edge of the pocket is where the dot is, not the arched stitching half way down.)

Brass, you make reasonable points about practice distances. I confess I didn't agree with the sales guy at the store about practicing only twice a year. I will shoot at least a cylinder full of rnds through the 642 every time I go to the range (usually once or twice a month now days).

My range is from 50 ft. slow fire and carefully aimed, (with both left and right hands and with 2 hands) up to 3 ft from the belt one handed (both left and right).
I wish my range had that much flexibility. There are only 12 yd, 25 yd, 50 yd & 100 yd targets. We don't even have a 7 yd lane.
(I remembered that after commenting on my poor performance at "7 yds" in a post on the last page or two. It was poor in part because the target isn't at 7 yds, it's at 12 yds. Doh.)
Now that I'm a member, I hope to encourage them to provide at least one or two 7 yd targets for snubbies.
