The trigger on those things are so bad, look at the ruger lcr's. I just got one in 9mm, trigger is better. I was actually looking to buy the 642 until I handled one.

I had a 442 same thing just black. It was awesome, stupidly sold it.
Going to get the 9mm Ruger revolver or a 356 snub from s&w to replace it.

Had a .38 with no hammer. Was painful to shoot but surprisingly more accurate than expected.

I keep a S&W snubnose .357 66-2 in my truck. I love that little gun. I picked it up for $125 when I was 18 years old.

Does 3" count?
I keep a 3" gp100 around

Keep a LCR in my truck. Not much fun to shoot, but it serves a purpose.

S&w are notoriously a bit heavy new. Dry firing will lighten it up

The wife has a Taurus ultra light .38 special. It was a gift from her Dad. He's a little bit of a gun nut so I was kind of shocked that he went cheap for his daughter. I've shot it plenty, and carried it a few times. I tried to get her to like a semi-auto but the slide cycling threw her off. She thought the recoil was too much on the little .38 so I bought a Ruger P95, thinking heavier weight and only a 9mm would help, but she just didn't like it.

Had a SW 637-2 .38+P (like 642 but with exposed hammer). I liked it, but was recently talked out of it for more than I paid for it.
See if you can find a 642 that does not have the lock.
I never truly "carried" the 637 except in a briefcase or side holstered at the farm, but it worked well like that. I'm looking at a Sig P938 for my first true CCW pistol.
ETA: My 637 was as accurate as I could shoot it, and it didn't kick bad for the type of pistol that it was.

LCR .357
Posted on 2/6/15 at 10:17 am to mpar98
I'd recommend renting one at Precision and shooting it first. It's not an enjoyable gun to shoot.

wn a SW 637. Ultralight 38 with exposed hammer. It shoots. It goes bang and it is a gun so it is loud. It is samll, light and is a 38 so there is somehting called recoil. It shoots pretty accurate. I like it.

This in .38 spcl. Fits in pocket holster smoothly.
And it is fatal to whitetails

I carried a 642 for years when I was in plain clothes. I never had trouble qualifying with it. It actually shot well. Maybe some range time?.....
Posted on 2/6/15 at 10:50 am to dnm3305
It's a full grown piece of steel but it shoots soooooooooooooooo good
Posted on 2/6/15 at 10:56 am to mpar98
Yup. Taurus hammerless 5 rounder.
Good trigger pull and shoots well. Well made.
Bought in 2001. Stamped made in Brazil. Means it was made on the S&W presses down there.

I have a Ruger SP101 I keep jic. Comes in handy. Just don't take it to the range. It's more of a gun you use when some thug tries to pull you out of your car or other close proximity situations.
