I have noticed that my M-642 tends to point north, but I don't know if that reflects a Confederate bias on the gun's part, or if the barrel got magnetized and now thinks it is a compass needle.

Heaven help the guy that uses one of those for self defense and the attacker is not white.
That's exactly what I thought the first time I saw one!
Use it in a legitimate self defense situation and end up getting charged with a "hate crime".

+1 (discretely worded question and answer.) In some places, even in the deep south, some people think the display of a rebel flag = a racial slur
No offense, but I disagree. I like the colored flag on the 642 much better.

The racial angle was the first thing I thought of when I seen one for the first time at last months gunshow. But I still plan on picking one up if they still have one at this weekends gunshow.
I hate political correctness.

I was in my LGS last month and they had one. The salesman told a girl who was interested in it, "Do not buy this for a SD weapon. If you shoot someone, they will profile you". I thought it was good sound advice in today's messed up PC world.

Imagine if Zimmerman had used this?

I agree that that sounds like sound advice!
And why would you buy an alloy snubnosed J frame besides self defense?

Just got home from the gunshow with my new 642 Rebel.
They only have one left now.

Shot my 642 Rebel on Sunday.
Shoots great just as good as the one I got my wife for Christmas three years ago ( she wanted a coffee maker ) . My wife's 642 is just a plain Airweight with rubber grips so they feel different in my hand but they both feel good.
The comfort of concealment and accuracy was the big seller for me.
I love it.
