I have a S&W 642 Jframe-a member of the NRA & a new gun enthusiast. I want to get a lighter trigger pull as the recoil is huge & no fun to shoot at the range! Should I just keep practicing? Lol
Also I'm looking into buying S&W MP 2.0 for conceal carry... any opinions..

Goodlookinout; what are you firing through your 642? Also, what kind of grips is it wearing?
Even if your gun says '.357', that caliber is WAY too much to shoot in such a small frame (in my opinion). Try .38 Specials; they are far more comfortable to shoot and CONTROL in a J-frame.
Hand-filling grips are also essential to absorb recoil.

Welcome aboard from Wyoming.

Congrats on your 642.

A "lighter trigger pull" isn't going to have much affect on the recoil. I agree with shep854, shoot .38s. I keep jacketed flat nose in mine.

And, yes, keep practicing. The heavy trigger pull might relax a bit with more rounds, and you'll either become accustomed to the trigger and recoil or decide it's not for you. Give it a chance before you give up, though.

You'll never hear me say, "Yes, go buy that semi-auto."

Cheers,

Bob

Welcome aboard from West Virginia. You have a fine revolver there. As the others have suggested, try .38 specials in it. I have several of these lightweight guns, and they are great. The trigger will smooth out with use.

Best Regards, Les

Here's a 1989 Model 60-3 LS with the purple plastic case and tools (BDV5668). Sort of an odd, but fun, little thing.

I was looking for a 3" barrel thread, but this J frame thread is probably just as appropriate.

My new to me 36-1 with 3" barrel.

I picked it up today from another owner. It came with the Herrett's as shown and the original grips. I'm a bit unsure if I'll keep the Herrett grips and won't know until I get it to the range.

Since I plan to carry this on occasion, I'll also need to find a holster. Suggestions on that are welcome.





Shown here along with it's big brother Model 13-4 with 3" barrel.



If I don't like the Herrett's, I might go the stock grip/Tyler T adapter as on the Model 13-4.

Very nice, introduced 1967.

You may want to consider a holster for the 2" with an open bottom and it'll carry with less bulk just like a 2".

I didn't think of a 2 inch holster. I'll have to look around and see what's available. My gun has an AWA pre fix. I looked in the SCSW and I think it's 1987. No pinned barrel, but stil a nice gun.

I've carried this one daily for a couple years. However, practicing with my very first j-frame, a 442, is what put the revolver hook into me! Most carry and range time, these days, involves a revolver.

Gary S-


Smooth Magna grips, in rosewood, Tyler adaptor. Holster: Bianchi Model 5 on belt or M-6 for inside waistband.


That's what I used on my gun like yours and was very satisfied. Get the holsters for three-inch guns. I disagree with the man who said to use an open bottom holster for a snub.


That M-36-1 is a fine small .38. Much easier to shoot than a snub and gives about 80-100 FPS better velocity with some loads.


Your Herrett's grips are for open carry or range use, not concealment.

My soon to be no longer mine Model 34-1, Nickel plated.

It's become a safe queen, so I decided to sell it on. Listed it on a forum yesterday at 11:00 AM, had an offer at asking price by 6:00 PM. I'm either a genius at pricing or might have been a bit too low. Doesn't matter as what I got out of it pays for the 36-1 and a Side Guard holster, the exact model to be determined.

Early 1982 production according to the SCSW. I have a very recent 351C that will replace it. Pictures of that when I get a chance.

Anyway, here it is.

351C. Previous owner put 1/2 box through it, then decided she didn't like it. Fall 2016 production date. Stiff trigger pull, but the cure for that is put more round through it! Still a fun little gun to shoot and not unreasonable as a back up self defense firearm.

Gary S-


Look at post 376, from CRSides. See the smooth rosewood Magna grips? That's what I referred to in my earlier post where I said I had those on a M-36-1, with a Tyler adaptor.


Thanks to Mr. Sides for showing that finely engraved gun and those rosewood stocks. I don't think the factory sells them any longer. Mine were bought at a gun show about 20 years ago and are not for sale.

Got some new grips. Look great in all the different lighting. Not bad for sight-unseen Hogue Cocobolos.

I typically only order grips that I can actually see the exact grips I'll receive, but took a chance on these from Amazon and they're awesome.

Lots of fine guns and photos in this thread!

Attached is a photo I took of my growing J-frame collection. I added two 640s in the last three weeks, a 640-1 PRO LNIB and a prelock 640-1 that I believe was one of the recent Centerfire offerings.
They are definitely habit-forming!

That's so beautiful, I'd use it only with a lined holster.

The 640 Pro came today, had the other one for a while. Got to get a Hogue Grip for it, shoot it, then it'll be my "Errands and Dog Walking CCW". And I would actually load 357 Magnum in this one, but not the 340...

My dad wanted me to trade his model 60-15 in on a model 63 kit gun he's been wanting. Couldn't do it after what the dealer offered so I put the 63 on layaway and put the 60 in my safe. Always liked that gun.

Haha. Thanks. That model 60 may become my new favorite. Hard to choose.

Brand new Model 63 Kit Gun





The grips interfere with the hammer in the cocked position. Minor, but an annoying miss by S&W quality control. Nothing a little fine tuning won't fix, but really Smith?
