I have a 1973 model 49 Bodyguard Other than a old 357 Ruger Black hawk (also early 70's) only wheel gun I have. Any one else have a J frame for the pocket or night stand.
I'm working on getting a 642 myself. I've heard much about them, and all seem to be great reviews. I'll post a report when I get it, and a range report shortly thereafter.Vom Kriege said:I have a 642 that I will carry in my front pocket when just knocking around. I also have a bellyband that I like to use that works great with the 642.
I have been very pleased with mine. I'd like to ditch the key lock when possible, but I really like the revolver. I have carried it a good bit since I bought it. I hesitated for a long time because I thought that the money for five shots wasn't a great buy, but I am very happy that I did finally buy one.Jade Falcon said:I'm working on getting a 642 myself.

What makes the 340PD so much more expensive than the S&W 442? The only things I notice right off the bat are the different grips, 3 oz. of weight and the titanium cylinder. If those are the only things, how does that equate to the 340PD being over $400 more than the 442?Tifosi said:For a pocket carry I like my 340PD with Crimson Trace LG405 grips and a Mika pocket holster. Light, comfortable and reliable.
Steve, actually on the open market the price differential is about $200. The 340 is a .357 magnum round the 442 is a .38 special the frame on the 442 is aluminum and the 340 is Scandium. 3oz difference is 20% difference in weight. Some people have bigger pockets and some people have heavier pockets, I guess it all a matter of preference.What makes the 340PD so much more expensive than the S&W 442?
