My new EDC (642)

[Bob O]

Hey guys, it's been a while!!

Just bought this a couple weeks ago. Mostly for ankle and pocket carry. I always have this gun on me, either as a primary or backup to my Walther PPS 9.

I don't carry the speed loader (just used it for the pic), it actually doesn't work that well with the factory grips......I carry a strip with extra rounds in my pocket. I have about 60 rounds through it.....no problems. This Air Weight model is super nice!

Now yer talkin.......very nice weapon , I got a 442 that I carry every day along with my Shield 9. Keep shootin.

I carry a 442 Daily. I'll post a picture here. I held my grips to a bench grinder and took off enough material to allow use of the HKS speed loaders. That was until I got the old Uncle Mike's Grips.

Great rig. I have the exact same revolver and load in my pocket as I type this.

The Airweights are definitely a lighter option than the all steel guns...

I love my EDC 642. It's beat all to hell, which is a good thing. Not afraid to carry it because it will get scratched up

Bob O. that's a great choice. My EDC is the 642 on the left most in the IWB holster, but sometimes in the pocket holster also. Hard to beat it as an all around carry gun. Enjoy! PEN

Had one IWB all day today. It's my urban carry.

Good choice !

Mine's the 442. It rides either on my belt or in my pocket.

I must concur with you folks on the 642/442.

 

[SilentKnight]

The 642 is about as good as you get for an EDC no matter what the weather. I carry 45s when weather permits and the situation allows. My 642 is my go to gun when you have to go for maximum concealment. It is accurate with practice for what it was designed to do. Paint the front sight with bright orange paint. Good luck.

Great choice. I have a 442 that was originally black, but does enough IWB and pocket duty that it's losing it's finish around the edges. The trigger has really improved over time, when I compare it to my GFs newer 642.

Great gun. I found a pristine 642-1 NL that someone had a trigger work performed on and decided they didn't like the recoil and subsequently traded it in. Timing is everything and I was happy I was there to snap it up. Now I have a snub nosed pocket gun to alternate with my 360J...

Nice pickup.

 

[wood714]

Carry mine in my front pocket about 80% of the time.

 

[gnystrom]

Can a 340PD carrier chime in? Nice choice in a lightweight revolver. Those things are easily carried in a pants pocket. I went with Crimson Trace LG 405 laser grips which are great for shooting from awkward positions as well as a great training aid.

Nice J Frames very nice.

Good choice! I have a few carry guns but find my 642 in my pocket more often than any other.
