OK Guys, I guess I'll bite. I had, but have since sold one of early 640's. Pre- 'J Magnum' frame, but w/o the +P+ mkg. Beautiful little revolver, but too heavy for hide away back up duty. I sold it off, & picked up a 642 'Ladysmith'. And yes, it did take me a little soul searching to determine if I could deal with carrying a Ladysmith, but it did come with some advantages. It came with a beautiful D/A, & was factory Magna-Ported. The porting was just too useful to pass up. I 'be carried daily ever since it was sighted it. It handles 135+P's just like 148 gr. FWC's, so needless to say I'm quite pleased with it. Mine is Serial # CAP-2XXX, with Factory Product # 103808. I've always loved both 2" & 3" bbl'd revolvers. Even now, in the day of the compact auto, I still have 2 S&W's, & 2 alloy Colts. Just can't seem to part with them.

Best, dpast32
