Anyone carry the S&W 642 .38 Special? If so, any thoughts? Pros/Cons?

Thanks!

I bought one about 2 years ago with the CT grips & no lock. I haven't had any problems. I wouldn't be afraid to recommend this revolver.

Yeah, I've got one. Very reliable - shoots every time you pull the trigger! I'm loaded with Hornady Critical Defense ammo. Have carried it in an ankle holster and small of the back.

However...it's a belly gun. Even at moderate ranges, it's hard to pattern if you don't practice A LOT. The trigger pull is pretty heavy, too. But then again, inside 7 yards it's all good.

Now I carry a compact 9mm and use the .38 as my "house gun." Ready all the time, even when I loosen the springs on my semi.

It's good to go. Very reliable.
