[QUOTE="YukonGlocker, post: 2761659, member: 425"] Been packing a 642 or 442 for many years. Grew to like the darker 442 better over time, and it's easier to pick up the front sight in black instead of silver in many light conditions. The modern self-defense loads (e.g., Speer's) in .38 +P perform adequately, and the .357 Mag loads in these short barrels don't do much more than recoil more (i.e., ballistically, they are not worth it). It takes some substantial practice to become proficient with these, but they are surprisingly accurate when you learn to control it. If you pocket carry frequently, or even occasionally, the enclosed hammer on the 642/442 models is great to help keep the s$hit out of the gun. A classic design that works well, and is hard to beat.
