The 342 is among my favorite ankle and pocket guns. A few ounces makes the difference.

I am fairly certain that I have a 3" round butt Model 10. I'll check the safe later to confirm.

Dusted this off today. It spends a lot of time in the safe. Forgot what an excellent AIWB carry gun it is.

I beat the hell out of it. Would do it again.

Sile makes similar profile rubber grips. The Sile grips are thinner / flatter than Pachmayr

Clarification on S&W 442 Models I addressed some of this in last year's SWCA symposium exhibit. Covered the no - 642, 638 and 637 with clear anodized frames and, my favorite, the O42.

Clarification on S&W 442 Models This seems like a good place to drop my old 442–2. This is one of my favorite revolvers. It is not fancy or particularly special from a collection standpoint. I have carried it a lot. Has thousands of rounds downrange. It is from 2006 or 2007. Trust it to be...

I rarely use anything more than Break Free CLP and a microfiber rag.

Yes. That's what I meant to say. Frame lug.

This is to share an experience in the event it helps others and, perhaps, to elicit comments and advice from forum experts. I have quite a few of the new Smith & Wesson products, including all of the UC snubs and new 36, 10, and 19. Very pleased with all of them and so happy that Smith &...

I have the original 432UC and a 432UC Ti (titanium cylinder). I like them both very much but, frankly, if the titanium was available first would buy the titanium only. Lipseys forgot to include the Hamre Forge grips and will send them later. I added old school Pachmayrs. The Pachs look and...

I dig the jacket. Very cool. Remember having a black one as a kid.
