    Air Weight 642 Question

    Dittos regarding AZoom cap dry-fire practice. I have a 642 and put Crimson Lasers on it. After thousands of "rounds' of dry firing I am finding that I like the original grips better and don't depend upon the laser for accuracy. It's all in the trigger pull and the more it is dry-fired the...

    Best Self-Defense Ammo for 642?

    Thanks to all for the great suggestions. I think I'll take the suggestions for practicing with the range rounds but loading a couple cylinders of self-defense ammo either +P or the Federal rounds suggested at the end to acclimate to the recoil of the light firearm. My regular firearms are the...

    S&W Model 642 maintenance

I then use either a light swipe of rem oil or Hoppes oil to finish the job. I have shot well over 350 rounds and no powder burns in or around the...

The range rounds were easy to handle; the Gold Dots had more recoil than I expected and were a bit hard on the hands...

    ctc laser grips

    What model of CT sights did you get? Just bought CT LG-405 laser grips for my 642 for $216 at a good large-volume gun store. If you got the LG-405 grips for $166.65, you got a fantastic deal. I shopped hard online and locally and $216 was the best I could do. The LG105 and 305 grips are...
