Definitely my 638. I've shot it so much (always double action) that it feels like an extension of me. I even called S&W and asked them if there's a life expectancy re the number of shots - I was worried I'm wearing it out :-) Customer service laughed and told me that's what they're made for...

Good choice - I carry a 638 too. I think if I was attacked by several thugs I'd try to hit each one in the face rather than put all my bullets in just one person. (I've never had to do anything remotely like this, so who know what I'd actually do)

I have a G19 that I'll never get rid of, I used to have 2 but I sold one to fund something else. I've regretted it ever since. I want 2!

I've been shooting Perfecta (from Walmart) out of my Glock 19 without any problems at all. I've also used Freedom Munitions without any problems - I buy new 9mm for my semi-auto, and reloaded .38 for my revolver. I always wait until they have a sale offering free shipping.

Great minds think alike!

I had one for several years and it was 100% reliable. I shot it a LOT. I could pretty much shoot the center out of the target with that gun. It felt big in my hands, but once I started shooting it was no problem. Oh yeah - I bought it used, a 92fs model. My personal opinion is to always stick...

I have a nice Desantis belt holster that I use with mine, but the belt slides through the slits on the holster. I use a Nate Squared (N2) original holster for IWB. Just some other thoughts for your 638...

I have 2 G19's and I could easily see getting another. Right now I only have 1 638 but I'm keeping my eyes peeled for a used one since $ is tight, and I want 2 of that one also. I could easily see having multiples of a gun you think is a really good fit, especially considering the unknown...

Sounds like you got a lemon - I'll take it off your hands for you :-) Just kidding (about the lemon part). The 638 is my favorite gun.

Walther - could not fire an entire magazine successfully. Didn't matter which brand of ammo, shooter, or magazine.

yep - we're both wondering about the same issue.:)

I guess I misspoke.... it's an airweight revolver. I've seen this before in gunshops and read about it online. Just wondered if anyone had experience talking with Smith about it.

I've been thinking about getting another j frame as a backup and since money is kind of tight, I'm looking at used guns. I see one that is in good mechanical condition but it has the peeling stainless(?) finish. It's an airweight, so perhaps stainless is not the right term. Anyone ever try...

Yep, ordered a case. Would have ordered more but don't have much spare $ right now.

I'm a woman, and I used to own a Kahr PM9. It was very accurate, and not too snappy to shoot but I had a lot of trouble racking the slide. I put about 1,500 rounds through it and it never loosened up. I got rid of it because of how difficult it was to rack. I now carry a S&W 638 and have a...

Between 1500 and 2000 rounds through my 638, no +P rounds, no problems. Sorry, but choosing between a S&W revolver and a Taurus seems like a no-brainer :-)

Just one, a Gen 2 19. It's a tool, a very very reliable tool that holds 3 times what my 638 holds. For when things get really bad.

Pro-Series Model .357 with fluted barrel, Apex trigger kit installed. No Lock! Beautiful gun. Satin Stainless Finish, S&W black rubber grips, Front & Rear Trijicon Night Sights, comes with (2) full moon clips (still in package). Purchased in July of this yeaer, less than 400 rounds through it...

I use a Nate Squared (also known as N2) original holster to carry my j frame IWB. i've tried many iwb holsters and it's the only one that works for me. Very comfortable, and not outrageously expensive.

Bob (Straightshooter1) - my best wishes to you! I am 3 years out of chemo myself. The only thing besides treatment that I left my house for, was to go to the range. I'd drag myself with my cane(chemo effected my legs) and bald head over to the gun club and shoot away. My carry gun is a 638, and...
