I bought a 619 357 in 2008. Absolutely love that gun.

On Sunday past, I replaced the one that got away. I had a 642 about 7 years ago. I can't really shoot J frames a ton without getting a blister on my trigger finger, so I sold it.

I have regretted selling it ever since. I could not find a gun that carried as well. The Colt DS I've been carrying ever since was sufficient, but I really missed carrying that 642.

So Sunday I found a 442 at a gun show, and bought it for under $400. Now all is right with the world. When it's too warm to carry the 4 inch magnum, the 442 is what I'll carry
