My new wheel gun!

[dragginaknee]

S&W Model 442 , 38 special

I picked this one up because i like the all black, and it is light and easy to conceal and not as heavy as my glock27

what ya think?

I got the same one, but not in black. Spanky shot it a few times. I ankle carry mine. Crimson trace makes a decent grip replacement with a built in laser.

Did u get it at Academy, I just looked at one there tonite. I think it was $367.
I also looked at 637 with hammer for around the same price.

Phil has one... those things kick like a mule! I like the ones with the cut down hammer more personally. If it has the front sight with the pin in it, you can get a "fiber optic" type sight on it that makes shooting it alot easier. I have trouble with his using black sights against a black target. Hebert Guns had one with the fiber optic front and it was much better.

I love my little s&w .38 snubbie.... but kick like a mule is an understatment, I usually don't shoot much through it because it's uncomfortable. However it is fairly accurate for it's size and super easy to conceal.

I bought it at my local gun store for less than you listed above. I hot it when I got home and it does not kick as bad as I thought. Crimson trace grip is a few weeks down the road then ill go get one. I also like the one with the cut down hammer, but it was an inmpulse buy and i didnt want to wait for them to ship me one. Plus the all black i really liked. Its just gonna be be a ccw gun when i dont feel like bring the 27. plus the good deal i cant complain!

I really bought it with hope of getting the fiance to start shooting and give her something to carry in the car, till then ill use it everynow and then instead of the 27. If i cant get her to use it then ill just have it to add with the rest. I thought about getting the 357 so i could shoot 38sp out of it also, but this works well. Plus it will give me another excuse to buy another wheel gun down the road.

Like penguin, I carry the 642-1. The .357's in that small/light of a package are next to useless unless used as a last ditch effort. I have a 2 1/4 Ruger SP101 in .357 and even it bites pretty hard when shooting magnums. The aluminum alloy and scandium frame Smiths in .357 are brutal.

Here's my baby:

Negative. You either hadn't gotten it yet or didn't bring it to the range. I shot your Steyr.

Grrr...You didn't shoot it. Matt did. You were all over the Kimber that the asian wonder (aka Cliff) was shooting.

Yeah, with that short of a barrel .357 would be one shot, 5" of muzzle flip then hope you can get sight picture back...lol. I got this mainly for the wife as home protection (use glasers in it). It's a great point and shoot weapon with out anything to hinder her having to use it in a stressful situation.

 

[spanky]

Let's try again.

Well, that's one too big as well. My camera won't take any "smaller" ones; so I guess no photo posting for me here.

Hell Yeah I have one... and she kicks like a mule... I LOVE HER!

S&W Model 37 w/ concealable hammer...

Lol... I do agree to a degree, but my S&W 37 is Lighter than the Glock 26 and a lot more concealable... for a smaller frame guy like me. Not to mention when I was training with a S&W Model 64, I shot almost perfectly EVERY single time, which has been harder for me to replicate using other guns. They are Hugely reliable and accurate for the most part. So I dont blame u at all Draggin... its a nice piece.

Granted, I am currently looking for a Glock 26 or a comparable gun made by another company. And my Glock 17 has yet to fail me. So I guess I'm a two timer... Semi and Revolver... As long as the sucker fires when I pull that trigger, shes ok with me!

I would give up a couple of extra shots for reliability any day. Next time your high quality auto (Sig, HK, Glock) fails to eject or fails to lock the slide back on the last shot, think about a revolver never malfunctioning. I have shot many different autos and many S&Ws. Every auto will eventually malfunction even if you baby them. The Smiths NEVER malfunction.

 

[spanky]

Well, Spanky, I downloaded "Image Resizer", to no avail. I can't even get it to come up on my hard drive where I installed it to.

Computer illiteracy is a terrible (but real) thing...

Too bad... I've got some photos of my new "Diller Scout" .22 combo cat/armadillo rifle that many of our neighbors would find handy...

you dont actually run it. after you install it, you just right click on any image file and click "resize"

You can never have to many guns, I figured so why not get a wheel gun, and have something lite and small to conceal when i dont wanna carry the g27.
