Dam, just bought mine here in LA at the Glendale gun gallery and they sold it to me for $870 😡!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just did a break in on mine with tulaammo 38 special no problems at all extracting was not that bad stiff but not bad.
Great video!! BERETTA9mmUSA! I just purchased this same exact pistol today I love this awesome S&W Revolver! the 642 Airweight .38 Special +P is perfect for what i am carrying it for as a back up weapon and (off duty) for my position as an EP agent (Bodyguard executive protective agent) in the private sector and as a uniformed CPO "not a "Security" Guard" a Certified Protection Officer also in the Private Sector i am a 30 year veteran in the industry since i turned 18 in 1991! i also carry a Glock 17 Gen 5 (full size in 9mm) on duty. I am former U.S. Air Force Security Forces at VAFB back home in CA within the 30 years of experience! I’m honored to be a subscriber of yours keep up the great and informative videos be safe!
I bought one with a laser site. I”m relatively new to firearms. Is that needed or a waste of weight?
I have a 642 and I carry one. I just got a Crimson Trace Laser Grip for it.
I carry the Performance Center 642 daily. The 642 is an amazing carry gun
I have trouble figuring out where to line the front sight with the back of the gun, and I have a ladysmith. don’t let that name fool you, it packs a punch
This video cements my desire to buy this revolver for my next carry weapon.
I have reviewed it carefully, and figure it’s a good match for someone my age (63) who doesn’t go out much, but still wants something more than a cane to defend myself.
I learned that Massad Ayoob is rather fond of the Centennial models because you can move your strong hand up the back in order to control recoil without the worry of screwing your hand up with the hammer.
One thing, guys. Remember to count your rounds as you’re firing, and remember that the 642 is a FIVE shot revolver; that way you don’t make that embarrassing extra trigger pull.
Imagine that !
These days in Saudi Arabia they sell this model with 5500 USD !! Which equal to 20700 SR
What a exploitation
One of my best friends has this and is wanting me to get this and a consealed carry permit.
My main shooter at the range is a Smith and Wesson model 64.
I really want a 642 because I like it, not sure if I want to carry and on something that small Plus P is not something I would shoot. That is for me and not a recommendation for someone else
It looks quiet ugly wihtout the hammer
Does "internal lock" mean a transfer bar safety?
Im carrying again and this was my choice…it so fits my hand and is so concealable! Never underestimate an old woman and her 38 plus p…this 60 year old granny will take you out! I refuse to be frightened anymore!
มีอยู่กระบอก อยากปล่อย65….
If you carry this is an ideal weapon, no hammer to hang up, easy to conceal, which means you won’t be tempted to just leave it behind. I might go with a cowboy load however. Any thoughts on that?
Looking at this for the wifey
Not impressed with your reloader, I like the old school round reloader
Just picked one up for my wife today,she’ll love it nice and not heavy at all
Excellent video on the Smith & Wesson 642 in stainless steel this one does not have the lock on it so the new ones they have a lot but this whole Tony you can’t even see it looks like it’s part of the gun the best thing to do is to get new rubber grips for it they have a whole bunch of them on Amazon very cheap or you may find something on you eBay or so but I give this video five stars
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐🇺🇸💯👍
Fun fact: The Riddler used this gun in the tv show series Gotham to supposively kill Oswald aka penguin.
Czemu wyrzuca ten pomarańczowy element jak później musi go podnieść żeby posprzątać? Wyrzuca nawet nabój w środku. Czemu go wyrzuca?
Either I’m doing something wrong or my 642 is no good. I can’t hit crap with my 642. Maybe I need to train more with it.
I haven’t selected yet, but this seems much better than the Ruger variant and the Ruger is quite expensive. Young guy on a budget understanding the necessity for quality
U
I have a few j frames but I’m always carrying my 642 (pocket). Only complaint is the carbon steel trigger gets rusty in the sweaty summer months. Why S&W did this ? My model 60 has a stainless trigger……
This is most likely going to be my wife’s next gun as a “purse carry”
This is a really helpful review. Thank you.
Does anyone else’s 642 have a really stiff trigger??
Just baught my wife one…
Hands down best review on this revolver period! Just bought one Monday , pick it up Tuesday next week!great job guys
Could you give me a link to those speed loaders please, great video
Just bought this yesterday for $309 brand new. Couldn’t pass that deal up. I shot one many years ago when I first began shooting. I wasn’t a huge fan, but as I got more competent with firearms and continued to shoot them over the years I fell in love.
That is A beautiful little Gun there.
Have a 637 that stays in the safe because its too perfect of a gun to carry and a 642 that I beat the shit out of and stays in a pocket 24/7. You can actually fall asleep with one in a pocket holster in your pocket and not really notice…..Until you turn over 0_o
I had one of these and sold it like a dummy. I bought a M&P Bodyguard 38 and it’s not the same. I miss the 642 a lot.
I love Mr. Snappy!
Nice review. I never thought I would carry a snubnose revolver but I gotta say after running hundreds of rounds thru this little bugger it really grew on me, and more importantly gained my trust. Light weight, concealed hammer, decent trigger (you have to get used to it) and price make this a perfect ccw for all gun enthusiasts to seriously consider.
Thanks for sharing!
I got mine today with a CZ P07. Mine cost $389, but it could be a regional price.
Does it kick a lot
Yup I have mine I open carry and keep a speed loader in my pocket as well. I was surprised how accurate it is compared to other snub noses I shot. It took a little practice to get a feel for it, but not much. Good little lightweight handgun and having a speed loader I bought for $10 on Amazon gives me 10 shots quickly. I recommend 9/10.
Out of all my many guns this little S&W 642 .38+p air weight is Always on me everyday everywhere. My other CCW main carry is the Glock 26 gen5 , but I always carry the 642 as primary or back up . In a ground fight this gun is the best choice to pull to defend your life . “Clint Smith “ got me wanting to try ankle carry of this gun , I currently pocket carry it in a DeSantis pocket holster. That Sig Elite performance V-Crown JHP is my favorite CCW ammo for all my carry guns .38+p, 9mm, 10mm & my .357Mag
Great video!
I own one. I have a Crimson Trace Laser grip on mine. I have Hornady Critical Defense +p in it.
January 2021…. same firearm = $699.00 new
Price done gone up considerably 🤔
Is $420 new a good price for the 642?
2021 $550 everywhere in FL
nice shirt. A company that is actually pro gun unlike black rifle coffee that has the illusion of being pro 2A
I know that this is a gun review but what watch is that Beretta Sr.? Btw I have a nice S&W 637! Great video thanks.
I have one.I picked it up for $200.00 .A lady bought it,shot 5 rounds. The next day she came back and bought a G48 9MM. .GLOCK.I.She wanted to sell it.I offered her $200.00 and was fi e with.She also gave me the remaining 45 bullets in the box. Sometimes we are Justin the right place at the right time
