so i CCW my 642 as much as possible. But while i am at work, it sits in the holster which is then placed in my dresser. i have recently been noticing some green spots appearing on the brass and where the brass contacts the firearm.... i.e. cylinder, extractor...etc. i have tried everything...

should you choose to get rid of it... my dad is looking for one

i have a question with regards to cleaning. i recently put about 2 boxes of ammo downrange with my 642 and enjoyed doing so thoroughly!!! so when i headed home i still had some free time so i cleaned it up and lubed it appropriately. my question is.... what is the best way to clean just...

Not to step on others toes or to rehash what others have said. But the racking of the slide is a common problem for new shooter men and women. I think it would certainly be beneficial to review the proper procedure of this ( excellent example in post #13) the push and pull motion is key...

My smith M&P has been 100% reliable since its NIB purchase over a year ago. It is by far my favorite range gun from an assortment that my father and I own.

WOW is all i can say as well. i have reached a new level of jealousy, previously unknown to me. thanks for all the great information. thanks to those who add pics as well. it is always great to see what others are talking about. I think i have narrowed my search. i am leaning toward the...

thank for all the great info so far. Just one more follow up... one of the main things i would like is to be able to interchange the grips from my 642 to the next j frame purchase. will all of the above mentioned be capable of this. For example, if i order a pair of crimson trace grips for...

From my research, thus far, i have more or less narrowed it down to models: 40,60,640. i prefer the stainless steel, although not against the blued. i was mainly interested to see if i had overlooked any because i am so unfamiliar with this system. my preferences: blued or stainless roughly a...

I recently purchased a Smith and Wesson 642. I have since fallen in love with this design and feel of this firearm. I would be interested in possible seeking out and purchasing other J frame models, but i am fairly new to revolvers as well as the numbering and labeling system used is rather...

recently had the same dilemma, i ended up with the s&w j-frame. And i love it.

i like all the idea's thus far. As stated above i would like this gun to become an heirloom of sorts. Thusly, my top three are the Brownings, beretta and ruger. these all sound like great firearms that will last me for sometime and with proper care i should be able to pass down to my...

Hello THR community! I recently decided to invest in a good quality o/u. I have previously used my remington 870 for my shotgunning needs (mainly trap and skeet). But i would like to upgrade to something that i could possible pass down to my kids someday. i have been saving up and so...

smith and wesson 642. i love this firearm.

i have shot other guns. That is the odd thing, i have a 642-2 that i shoot very well. better than the M&P in fact. which is why i thought to try a new platform (gun). i certainly see where you are coming from with my "software" problem. looking at the pie chart i think it is a combination...

thanks for all your guys help so far. what i didnt like about the M&P? i loved this gun, it was reliable and so comfortable to shoot. but i just could not hit anything with it. i purchased it over a year ago ( i shot it before i bought it) i just never improved after more than a year of...

i am in the market for a new sub-compact auto loader. I am nervous of getting another semi-auto pistol. i am thinking of selling my s&W m&P because i am unable to shoot it very well. the ergo's just dont work for me. It fit my hand great but i just could not hit anything with it. So i...

i will say that i do like many of the feature the PPS has and does offer to its perspective owner. But what has made me look else where every time i set out to make another purchase is the warranty, or lack there of, that Walther offers. After many nights googling, i believe the warranty is...

me and my dad did a side by side comparison of these two last year, i was in the same situation you currently are. both my father and i, favored the 642. we felt the LCR had somewhat of an awkward recoil. For some reason, on both of us it felt like it had alot of "twist" on recoil. It even...

My dad has a Glock in 45 GAP. It shoots well. Always fun to shoot off a few rounds after we get done with the 9mm. Ammo has had its ups and down in finding it. Bass Pro, in my area, does carry it. Also it can be found at gun shows. Another interesting point is that i was recently told...

Thanks for everyones help here. I seem to have overlooked the Leatherman CS4. i remembered ruling it out early on, but cant remember the reason. I also seem to not be able to find a new one. So again thanks for everyones help. i will have to do some more research into the Leatherman...
