[QUOTE="D V US, post: 3816397, member: 34558"] I seem to see a post in the Smith & Wesson forum every so often of the airweights cracking the frames around the barrel. Oddly, it's usually the 642s over the 442, 37, 637 and the other airweight J frames. I'm not saying the others can't have issues too, just that it seems more prevalent in the 642s. Maybe because they sell more 642s than all the others? I dunno. I do know that the load you shoot plays a huge part in the life expectancy of the gun. Standard pressure LRN should let you enjoy your little J frame for the rest of your life. +P loads are like smoking meth. Your body might take it for a while, but eventually.... [/QUOTE]
