[QUOTE="cowboydoc, post: 1122108, member: 8065"] I have a S&W 642, no-lock, that I bought new. There are some no-lock ones still out there. I bought mine at Sports World in Tulsa. It was the same price, or close to it, for a no-lock or one with a lock. As stated before, the 442 is the same gun, just with a black finish. It is very easy to carry just about any way you want- IWB, OWB, pocket. It is harder to shoot well than a bigger, heavier gun. But with practice, you should be able to get decent groups. I shoot mostly non +P for practice, but shoot some of my carry ammo (Hornady Critical Defense +P) at each range session. The +P is louder and has more muzzle flash, but actual recoil doesn't seem much more to me. It is not a gun to shoot all day for fun, I usually do 50 to 100 rounds at most. As far as bullets jumping crimp, I have only read about that happening with the scandium .357mag models shooting lightweight bullets. [/QUOTE]
