Out of all the guns I've owned, of all brands, I tend to keep coming back to one model in particular. It embodies all the characteristics of a packin' pistol to me. I have an early 642-1 now, but I've owned countless variations of it in the past, and I just keep coming back to it. I've tried short barrelled K frames, which I LOVE, but simply don't carry because of weight. I've tried Glocks, Government 1911's, Brownings, Sigs, even N frames, and a Colt Agent. The 642 is stainless, so it can be carried in all climates, and all weather. It's light in weight, so it can be pocket carried, belt carried, shoulder carried, or any other imaginable way and it's still comfortable. Mine is plus "p" rated, which means that any commercially available loading will function in it EVERY time with a reasonable degree of accuracy. Without a doubt, the one gun I have EVERY time, EVERY day, rain or shine, hot or cold. How many other guns can say that they get carried in such a fashion?
