I put the XS Big Dot on my 642 and I love it. Frankly, my eyes are ****. Trifocals and too much computer work does that to you. (And getting older!) I changed sights so I could actually pick up the front sight quickly. Nothing quicker than the Big Dot. Sent using Tapatalk HD

EXACTLY! National gun registration (aka Universal Background Check) has been Obama's goal all along.

Okay, if I understand you correctly, these grips are being touted as good for CCW, especially an ankle holster. They are stunning! Do the Herrett's with BK grip adapters make the gun more comfortable to shoot than the stock grips? Sent using Tapatalk HD

Eep02b - thanks for a great thread! I have a 642 with stock grips and I've always wondered what grip options would work for CCW. Sent using Tapatalk HD

You have received some wonderful, and thorough advice. I will be much more succinct. No, I do not think a 642 is a good choice for your daughter, or really for anyone, for a first gun. To wit, I have several revolvers and pistols that I let folks shoot when they are in the market for that first...

+1. Love it. Ours works well on Shield mags. It is just a tad of an issue to keep the single stack mag centered, but no big deal. Sent using Tapatalk

The first pistol I owned was (and is) the M586. Love it. One question. In every picture in this thread, the front sight has the red insert. My 586 does not. I know mine is an early model, but does anyone know the year they started with the red insert? Sent using Tapatalk

Yes! Wow, thanks for the memory. Good stuff. Sent using Tapatalk

+1 to letting XS do the job. They did a great job on mine. No regrets. Sent using Tapatalk

That's odd. Same thing's happening to the sights on my rifles and pistols. Sent using Tapatalk
