What is your favorite Smith pocket revolver

[Buckeye]

This is a picture of mine ,a S&W 642 with a Uncle Mikes pocket holster

This is my hot weather and Sunday carry....combo.the little 642 is stoked with a staggered load of solid base lead wadcutters & HBLWC loaded backwards....a little old school but there performance are boringly predicable

 

[jframe]

I carry the exact same combo, except I use Hornaday 125gr XTP's. I may replace the Uncle Mike's in the future; I've got a Walther PPK that I keep in a Blackhawk! pocket holster that's made in the USA, where the Uncle Mike's is made in Vietnam, for God's sake.

M&P 340 right now because it is my only pocket carry. I do like it a lot though.

My 442 is a great pocket gun stoked with 135gr +P Gold Dots. My favorite however is my 340sc with 125gr .357 Remington Medium Velocity or Golden Sabre equivalents. It's nice to carry a gun that is lighter than most pocket 9mm's .380's .32's and .22's knowing you have the power to truely stop a bad situation. It's very comfortable and comforting. Tough to beat for me.

Has to be my 442. Can't think of a revolver better suited to pocket duty:

 

[allglock]

342 in the summer, M&P 340 in the winter.

 

[JCS&W]

Right now my favorite is my M37.

 

[snubbiefan]

If I am not attending, or suspect a planned gun-fight....my 317. If I suspect there may be the possibility of a gun-fight....the 640 or 638.

pocket s&w

I agree that the j frame s&w is the perfect pocket revolver. Mine is a 642 with hogue boot grips. Ammo is federal 125 grain.

 

[ogilvyspecial]

For me, it's either the M642 or M638, with the 638 my favorite.

They are usually carried using one of the two methods shown below.

My nightime pocket gun is usually my M36-2

 

[teesur]

I kinda like my 637. No holster- just stick it in my
pocket and go.

I carry a pre lock 342 Ti with some older rescued grips. Slides in and out of the pocket smoothly.

[Dragon88]

Right now my 642 No Lock. My 43C will likely be a close second once S&W fixes it and returns it to me.

340PD

 

[OldBlood]

When I have big pockets I carry my 64. When the pocket is smaller I carry my 442 or (whisper) my lcp.

 

[allglock]

Right now my 642 No Lock. My 43C will likely be a close second once S&W fixes it and returns it to me.

Let us know when you get the 43c back, and what they did to fix it.

Let us know when you get the 43c back, and what they did to fix it.

I will. It was kind of a mess out of the box. Bad spitting, a hitch in the DA trigger on a couple chambers, scratches on the cylinder face, large BC gap, etc. I suspect they will fit a new cylinder and call it a day.

I love the model though and can't wait to get it back.

642-2 is my EDC. Loaded with Federal Personal Defense, 129gr Hydro Shok ammo I think it'd work as well as anything else for a deadly encounter. I would like to get something with more rounds for Home Defense though. When it's just you in your underware with a gun and a flashlight it's kind of comforting to have more then 5 rounds for those "bump in the night" situations.
Got a line on a S&W 4586 that's in my price range, that'd give me 8+1 rounds of 45acp, may go with that or the Sig Pro 2340 that I've found.
