Just picked up a S&W 642 yesterday for pocket carry. Going to order a DeSantis Nemesis pocket holster and some Speer Gold Dot +P's. I looked at various semis and just couldn't get over the reliability issues most had (Khar, Kel-Tec, ect). Heard nothing but good things about this particular model, so i bought it, put 30 rounds through it, and it's a nice shooter. So lets see em!

Baby Browning - a safe queen but still a pocket pistol.

My 637 before the hammer bob;

And after. It gets carried every day and shows it along the backstrap.

mine. Trusty Taurus 651. Chambered in .357magnum.
I bought it because i didn't have any snubby, but these days, its becoming my main CCW.

Hey Ben,
Not to frighten you, but I've got an interesting picture you might want to see. My mother-in-law was shooting a 642 for her CCW, and after about 50 rounds, the barrel completely split, length-wise. It is amazing to see, and couldn't believe it when I saw it. S&W hopped right on it, and sent a brand-new replacement gun. The RSO (who miraculously was attentive enough to stop her in mid-pull through the next round in sequence) said he had never seen anything like it!

An absolute fluke, but just something to see!

Oh yeah, my wife carries a 442, Awesome little guns.

Wow, not good at all. I hope/think that must be an isolated incident because i've heard nothing but good things about these snubbies. I'll keep an eye out for that for sure.

Nice pics guys, loving the snubbies, keep em' coming.
