There are two ways to address this. From a mechanical/physical standpoint, you have a lightweight gun that is firing a (relatively) large round for its size and weight. If you want to use the "best performing ammo", there is no repealing the laws of physics; you are looking at medium-heavy bullet weights and powder charges to achieve this, which will generate lots of recoil in a 642. You can mitigate this simply by using larger stocks that allow a firmer hold and spread the impact on your hand, or a heavier gun, or both.

The second way is lots of practice and learning to deal with the recoil.
