Greetings, I just started in on 38 special snubnose's and found this Model 42 and being a 1911 guy I was intrigued and had to have this for my little 38 snubby collection.
Be careful sir! Those Centennials can get additive! FYI, the grips on your 42 ARE NOT interchangeable with any other J frame gun except the mod 40! The washer in the back is too small on the 40 & 42.
