Is the M&P9 Pro worth the extra money? Just wonding what you guys think. Thanks.

Anyone have one of these yet? If so, how does it compare to the regular XD? Is it finicky and less reliable given the tighter tolerances? I'm thinking of adding a piece of Tupperware to the collection, probably for IDPA as I'm hoping to start competing soon. I was primarily looking at the...

Well, I did the unthinkable the other day. I left the house unarmed. I recently got a new job, so I was running out to the liquor store to pick up a bottle of my favorite scotch - which I promised myself I could buy when the job came through. I was also going to grab some dinner from the...

Well, you never think it will happen to you and then it does. Thursday morning (12:30 a.m) my wife and I were awake in bed with our newborn (just brought him home from the hospital the day before). We heard the front window alarm go off for a second and then stop. I got my 9mm out of the...

I ordered an untra light Taurus Judge, 3 inch barrel and 3 inch (magnum) cylinder. I placed the order in October. It was a birthday present for my father (birthday in November). The gun just arrived two days ago - slightly late for his birthday. Turns out they gave us the 2 1/2 inch cylinder...

I have heard people on this forum discourage the use of document safes for storing handguns. I was just curious as to if that is really a problem; and if so, why. I only have 6 handguns, and won't increase that number substantially for quite a while. So one of those document safes would be...

My father has a 642 which has a rather odd problem. Occasionally it will not fire when you pull the trigger. The cylinder advances, but it is almost like the firing pin doesn't move. Any ideas? Has anyone had this issue before with a 642? We are sure the problem is not the ammunition.

Hi Everyone, I put about 250 rounds through my Interarms PPK/S today. At one point, for about 8-10 rounds, when I squeezed the trigger (in single action) nothing would happen. There was a round in the pipe, and the hammer was back all the way. But I would just hear a "click" and then nothing...

Anyone know of a cheap and functional hip holster for a S&W 642? My father needs one for a gun class. He pocket carrys typically, so it won't get much use after the class. Any ideas?

I'm ordering ammo. Anyone have a current Midway USA promo code? Thanks!

I just picked up my new S&W 642 today. Can't wait to get it to the range (won't happen until next weekend, sadly). Despite not having shot it yet, I've taken quite a liking to the little gun. It disappears in my pocket - and it is very comfortable.

Just wondering how everyone else handles this situtation. I often go to the homes of family or friends who, though I don't know for sure, I strongly suspect would not approve of me carrying concealed (or open for that matter) in their home. Typically, I will put my CCW in the console of my car...

Here's the deal... I entered a raffle at work - the prize being a new S&W M&P in my choice of caliber. Naturally, I expect to win. When I do, I need to pick between .40 or .45. I've gone back and forth so many times on this, I thought I'd let you guys help me out. Any suggestions would be...

I have a very nice condition Winchester 490 in .22 LR. Hardly ever fired. I'd like to part with it in favor of getting a S&W 642 for summer carry. However I have no idea what the rifle is worth. Any ideas? I may be heading to a gun show this weekend. Thanks.

Just wondering what people carry around in their .38 snubs. After looking into several options, I'm leaning towards using Speer Gold Dot - when I get my 642.

Just wondering what everyone thinks regarding (generally) the reliability of Ruger, S&W, and Taurus revolvers. Please don't let the quality of their semiautos taint your response.

After talking to many of you and mulling it over for some time, I had settled on a Smith and Wesson 642 for summer carry. After taking a look at the soon to be released Ruger LCP, I'm having second thoughts. Anyone used a KelTec P3AT (the closest thing to the new Ruger) and a 642 (or similar...

I'm looking for a decent, but inexpensive, holster for my Stoeger Cougar 8000 - specifically an outside the waistband holster. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks!

This summer or before I'll be in the market for a new CC gun. I currently carry my PPK/S - and I love it. However, in the summer it tends to print in my pants (I pocket carry). I've tried a S&W 642 and loved it. It disappeared in my pocket. However, I've read a lot about the flaking issue...
