Picked up my 642UC

[Toyman]

Shop got an allocation and offered it to me .First impression barrel straight and XS sight glows in the dark.
Trigger pull becomes hard just before hammer falls, I think that will wear in.
I am not a fan of VZ grips they do look will replace before I shoot it.

Is the cylinder release smooth and not catchy?

The smaller framed guns have that sometimes.

Has a little drag I will check end of ejector to make sure center is protruding far enough.

I got the 432UC a while back after reading all the development info on the Lipsey's offering. Those grips were developed by the designers with VZ for the gun. I am not in love with VZ Grips in general but these work very well and point in very naturally. You might want to give them a chance. The UC is IMHO one of the best executed snubbies produced to date.

FWIW, my 642UC and my father's 632UC were pretty dry inside out of the box.

I shot 642 this week. Barrel straight, front sight glows, trigger is a bit hard but smooth. I had took side plate off and noted look dry inside. I put a few drops of Lucas oil on hammer and trigger pivots and rebound slide.
I shot 50 rounds of PMC 130 grain FMJ and WW 158 grain lead round nose. All rounds ignited and all cases had good indent.
I shot at 5 and 7 yards all rounds seemed to hit the place I was aiming.
I do not like the VZ grips I will put some Hogues on the gun.
I checked barrel/cylinder gap and head space with gauges I had from armorers school.
I could get the.006 in barrel/cylinder gap and .064 in head space, both within factory specs.
