I've been using the same photo of my 642 for a while now, so I went ahead and took a new picture. It has cocobolo Spegel boot grips and is usually loaded with Speer 135gr SB-GDHP. I bought it new last January. It has just over 1k rounds through it so far, and probably 3-4x that in dry fire "rounds". The finish is wearing pretty badly; it's much worse on the backstrap. It may not be a beauty queen, but it is dependable and accurate.



And here it is in its holster, a Wraith IWB by Seth's Gun Leather. I had him customize it to ride lower than normal so the cylinder is lined up with the belt. It's an excellent holster, very comfortable with good retention and draw speed and it pulls the grip in tight for good concealment.
