442=?

[Steve in Vermont]

I'm a believer in the 640. I have two 640-1's for my wife and I to use on the range. She carries a 442, I a 340PD. While not on the range, the 640's have night stand duty on either side of the bed. Day or night all 4 guns are the same size and shape (all are in matching grips), only the weight is different.

I expect my 640-1 to outlast me. I shoot standard 158 gr LRN and SWC along with some HBWC, all loaded on the mild side. Also have a M10 2" dating back to the early 60's and a M36 dating to 1970. No +P for these guns and they are still shooting just fine. I wonder, 40 years from now how many of these Airweights will be around in this condition. I won't be here to see but many of you will. Time will tell.
