Excellent gun
The S&W J-frame is a legendary gun. Light-weight, powerful (+P ammo) and reliable. Is a great pocket carry gun. It can be a handful to shoot when loaded with +P ammo. It's not a gun to shoot 100 rounds at the range. But it's accurate and will never let you down.

Small, Powerful, Dependable
What else needs to be said about the J-frame S&Ws? This is a wonderful weapon. Small with plenty of field proven stopping power. The airweight makes it a joy to carry in a pocket. It is no wonder that this model is so popular.

My Choice
I have been carrying my S&W 642 as a backup gun for over 4 years now. With Speer Gold Dot 135 grain +P short barrel load this gun is unbeatable for comfort, accuracy and power.
