One of the best small revolvers for concealed carry. Would be even better without the internal lock (the little round dealio just above the cylinder latch thumbpiece).

Any comments on the laser model?

They can be had without the lock—A Performance Center model comes without the lock and I think an improved trigger. But you’ll pay more.

I got my 642 with the lock at Academy on sale for a decent price.

If you put a dab of day glow green on the front sight and use a black magic marker on the rear even old eyes can pick up the tiny sights.

I bought some snap caps and have dry fired mine several hundred times. The trigger pull is much better. The heavy trigger pull is a kind of safety in any case.

There is recoil, but I wouldn’t call it punishing.

The 442 is the same revolver but in black rather than stainless.
