Thanks guys I guess I will go back to the pachmyer grips for carry and range and just live with the extra length.

I do have a set of pachmayr grips that work for recoil, but prefer to practice with the stock boot grips that I use when carrying. I usally fire target Winchester or American Eagle in 130 grain.

I don't shoot my 642 much because of the painful recoil. I don't reload. So what factory load would be recommended to have the least felt recoil?

They currently sell here in NE Ohio for $379. Two years ago someone offered a used one for best offer, I offered $375. His reply was go f------- yourself. Now its a tossup between the shield and the ruger lc9s pro.

Switch between S&W 642 and Ruger SR9C.

ShinySix, My 642 has been back to S&W two times since 2010, first time they replaced the Hand and repaired the Extractor Rod, the second time, same as yours, the hammer stud broke away from the frame. They replaced the frame only ( I believe they used my original inside parts). I feel your pain...

I hear you Vito. I would rather carry my Ruger SR9C than my S&W 642. The Ruger trigger is ten times better than that long hard pull on the Smith. When it's not practical to carry the Ruger, the Smith goes in my pocket with a pocket holster.

Spray Paint Job Looks great, just curious how far did you take down gun to prepare the surface?

This the way it should be!

Looking to buy a 22. Anyone own the new M&P 22 LR. Looks like a nice piece for around $360.

Thanks again Arjay, Just assembly numbers, that makes me feel better!

Thanks Arjay, 1948 that sounds correct, as I said I thought it was at least 60 years old. Should I be concerned that the numbers on the butt and cylinder are different than the ones on the frame and crane area? Does this not make this gun authentic? Fiveshot

I made a mistake the No. on the butt and cylinder is K 242XX and the No. on the frame and crane area in 892XX The K only appears on the butt and cylinder

The No. on the butt is K242XX The number on frame, cylinder and crane area is 892XX The K only appears on the butt.

Nice find on this gun. I own one that belonged to my father, i'ts been in the family at least 60 years, still shoots perfect. I would like to find out the age, anyone have a clue of how I go about this. It has numbers on frame, cylinder butt and crane area, all match except the No. on the butt...
