I second that! I have a 642, and if I had to shoot someone with it, you would KNOW that they really needed stopping! Lots of other people have shot it, and they always hand it back to me after 5 rounds... or less.Kalrog wrote: I carry a 642 (.38Spc 5 shot snub hammerless revolver) that works great for me, except when I try to shoot more than about 30 at the range. Great carry gun. Not so great range gun. I would rather touch off my .44Mag all day than the 642 all day.
Nice to carry. Not so nice to shoot.
