[QUOTE="beardking, post: 2779161, member: 31421"] I carried a S&W 642 daily for about 5 years. A friend of mine still carries his daily and he's been carrying it for a lot longer than 5 years. The most important thing to know is that it's not an especially enjoyable range gun. Even with non +P ammo, because of its size and weight, it packs a bit of a wallop. I mention that because one of the reasons I went away from carrying it is that I was never confident in my abilities with it because I never shot it enough to become proficient with it. I didn't shoot it that much because it was just not enjoyable to shoot. If she's a new shooter, you may consider getting one with the laser grips. I've been told that it helps new shooters with their self defense shooting ability since it's almost a point and shoot kind of thing. [/QUOTE]
