I keep my 642 on the bike, however I MUCH prefer my Kimber K6S snub. I am sorry to have to "jump ship" but this thing is a 6-shot, .357 capable, revolver at just 23oz. I have never used .357 in it and stayed with .38+P... and all I can say is WOW! Totally worth my personal investment. Love the trigger... smooth and accurate.

If S&W comes out with a similar one, THEN I AM ALL IN! ...Waiting!... BTW, got bigger guns for different needs...
