Why I'm choosing a Smith & Wesson wheel gun for summer carry
31.12.69
But, which one, which one? I narrowed it down to between the 442 and 642 . And after a up to date trip to Huntsville, Ala., where I visited my favorite gun shop in the world, Larry’s Automatic and Pawn , I decided to buy the 642 Airweight because it has an aluminum frame and stainless brace cylinder, crane and barrel — and we’re talking about the whole barrel. Sell for is $449. And when you think of carrying the summer in our humidity, you must be aware of moisture.
For this rational, and for many others that Ralph posted over at the blog The Truth About Guns and his thorough look over on the 642, I am ordering one — today.
I’ll take you along with me as I discover the world of wheelin’ and carryin’. It deep down is like buying shoes. Now I’ll need a holster and a belt and ammo and cleaning supplies for this caliber (.38 Idiosyncratic + P).
