The one gun I really hate in my own collection is the S&W 642 Airweight, but I make myself shoot it anyway, because it's practical to carry as backup, and you just never know. Even shooting it with regular .38 can be a pain, I stay away from .38 +P. Recently loaded and touched off a .357 by mistake - that was really no fun! I can't even imagine shooting a full drum of those things in that tiny package... Gimme my Model 66 any day of the week!

HamburgO,
Consider carrying 38+P in your 642, for defensive purposes only. Practice with your .38 ball ammo. You will not notice the difference should you have to fire it during an assault; very few can recall the recoil. Point being, use the gun to it's full potential.

This particular round has stopped many aggressors, several in our city over the past 30 years.
