I don't carry a snub.
I do like the 642.
What do you think about this:

I love revolvers, but this makes me say meh.
It's a stainless steel revolver, just like every other revolver out there. If Colt would bring back their Royal Blue, they'd have something that stirs the cockles of the heart, maybe a bit below the cockles in the sub cockle area. Honestly, I'd prefer an old blue Colt that has been lightly abused than a new shiny one like this. Just me, though.
FTFY.Don't get too excited.
You'll have an accidental discharge in yourcocklestoodles.
FTFY.
Easy now, my FIL has a similar pistol. Asked me for ammo for it during the Covid crap show. I had a thread somewhere here I think about it.Owned by a pimp at a New Orleans whore house?

So you think I should just get a 642?Nope. I have a real colt cobra. Don’t think I’d consider that one.
I’d love to see the 2.5” king cobra return if they stuck with the lookView attachment 602365
The two at the bottom are a cobra and detective special. I prefer the 2nd one for carry a sw 337
I read somewhere a few years back, that one of the major challenges Colt faced was that much of their machinery was worn out and outdated. The skill required to master a machine took decades to learn. They said the same thing about their Royal Blue finish. It took a ton of polishing and man power and the guys that did it were freaking artists. It took years to train someone to do it, and all the guys that could, retired or quit.I love revolvers, but this makes me say meh.

That's what I use my 638 for. It's nice and light, had an Apex spring job years ago and about 1,000 rounds through it has smoothed the trigger out beautifully.I wouldn't mind a super light revolver for dog walking for coyotes. Something like this:
Ruger LCRx 22 WMR Revolver 6rd
Ruger LCRx 22 WMR Revolver 6rd Anyone have one? If so, thoughts? http://www.taloinc.com/new-blog/2020/5/20/cool-little-lcr-in-22-mag https://palmettostatearmory.com/ruger-lcrx-22-wmr-revolver-6rd-1-87-blk-desert-sand-5465.html...www.northeastshooters.com
Get a 337 and move on.So you think I should just get a 642?
They seem to have such a great record over the years.
I hope I can do my own maintenance if needed. Not sure if needed but I’d like to take great care of it like I do my Glock.
I’d like a revolver I can be proud of an confident in. S&W still makes a good 642 I hope.
This still help:
Those are just .38 and .357.
It will suck to shoot. But easy to carry.So you think I should just get a 642?

Is it worse to shoot than a Ruger LCR?It will suck to shoot. But easy to carry.
It’s very light. So the recoil is stout. But hopefully you’ll never need it.
Easy to clean.
If you are recoil sensitive stat away from 442, 637, 642 etc. Although none of those are anywhere as bad as the 340PD blow up gun they can be mildly unpleasant with appropriate loads like 158gr +P nyclads etc.Is it worse to shoot than a Ruger LCR?
I hate that gun. I'm having pain in my index finger now and that would make it even worse.
I'd sooner carry a G43 with 7 rounds. At least I enjoy shooting that and training with it.
That's my go to pocket carry. I took in partial trader for an IC-706 from cpher
The titanium alloy cylinder of the more expensive centennial models would probably swap with the stainless-steel cylinder of other J-frames. But the current production M&P 340 (not to be confused with the 340PD) already has the combo you're describing, i.e. a scandium alloy frame for weight savings beyond the aluminum alloy frames of the 442/642 airweight centennials but with a stainless-steel cylinder like a model 60, and it is in stock here and there.Can you swap cylinders? I wonder if a "sc alloy" cylinder from a 342 would interchange with the "alloy" from the 642, and if so, if anyone would be willing to make that swap.
This would be for light weight carry, not lots of range sessions.
