- A roundhouse revolver to be reckoned with? Revolver fan or not you may want to pick one of these up (if you can get your hands on it). I mean after all, who doesn't love something that goes bang when you pull the trigger!
Thanks for watching, please SLAP that like button if you enjoyed
It is apparent you don't like this firearm. As a retired LEO I never leave home without mine.
There’s absolutely nothing functionally wrong with it. It’s just not my cup of tea but I could say the same about most revolvers as I’ve just never trained much with them so I don’t carry them. Thanks for watching and commenting and please be sure to subscribe if you haven’t already
If you look at S&W’s catalog you’ll see many different versions, all based on the 5-shot j-frame platform. So that means they’re selling a bunch of them, which also means lots of people are buying and probably carrying them. Me, I carry a 642 most of the time. Never mind the +P, though. I prefer the standard velocity 110-grain Critical Defense round by Hornady.
No doubt that many people carry them it’s a very carryable pistol.
I'm a bigger guy and before I got my groove life belt I wasn't able to comfortably carry anything bigger I've loved my 642 since the day I got it
How do you like the belt? Thanks for watching and commenting and be sure to subscribe if you haven’t already. Thanks again
@@GSquaredTactical I absolutely love it like I said I'm a bigger guy and I can actually carry in the front side and back comfortably with no bulge because of it its sturdy friction free and my fat ass can put it on and take it off with ease definitely worth the money and they have a life time warranty
@@GSquaredTactical I'm 5"11 and 400 pounds I carry a full sized hk 45 comfortably and keep my 642 in my boot
I love my Glocks but the S&W 642 always ends up in my pocket
Yeah I’m the same way about a lot of guns. Thanks for watching and commenting and be sure to subscribe if you haven’t already. Thanks again
This is a mafia gun. Love it so much by keeping all my shells with me and reduce evidence left behind.

This is a get off me gun I don’t care about recoil or accuracy beyond 10 yards or so and yes it’s nice not to leave brass all over the place
I understand that. Thanks for watching and commenting and be sure to subscribe if you haven’t already
Nice gun , but the all steel 640 .357 is still better. Not too heavy either. The Pro Series is best❤.

This little revolver is a great everyday carry. In most critical defense situations this will get it done.
Absolutely it will. Thanks for watching and commenting and be sure to subscribe if you haven’t already
I bought one thos morning, it sure fits nice in my pocket. $459
Yes it does!! Thanks for watching and commenting and be sure to subscribe if you haven’t already. Thanks again
My issued revolver saved me more than once during the first 20 yrs of my career & I still carry a J Frame in retirement. I’ve pocket carried a revolver w/a hammer and you just put a thumb over the hammer when drawing from the pocket. My current EDC is either a 340PD or 442 Pro.
Hard to beat sir. Thanks for your service and hey, thanks for watching and commenting and be sure to subscribe if you haven’t already. Thanks again
Twice, I was glad to be able to hand off my duty revolver to another officer and draw my snub .38 on incidents. In one case, the other officer had rushed to back me up after handling an arrestee and had left his sidearm secured at the lockup.
In the second case, I was conducting a felony stop across from a house at which an off-duty officer from my department happened to be visiting (he was taking his girlfriend's trash out.) He hung out with me until other units arrived.
I have one that I believe they made a mistake and did not have the airweight writing on the side or the larger S&W logo. It's a 642-1 and I looked up others online and all had it so I'm thinking it slipped out of the factory that way. I had to have it when I saw it because not only of that but the fact it does not have the Hillary hole. Gun shop guy was really shocked to see what I was talking about and even checked his other inventory to see if any others were the same and nope. I posted a video of it. Great little guns and about as perfect as one can get for a pocket pistol imo.
It is definitely a good pocket pistol no doubt. That’s crazy about the branding. Thanks for watching and commenting and be sure to subscribe if you haven’t already. Thanks again
I've read more than once that the 442/642 is the #1 seller SW has every year, including last year. My no lock 442 has been a great back up gun, coat pocket gun, and snake shot gun for about 10 years now.
I'm old enough that a snub and other revolvers were all were shot as far as hand guns growing up. Probably why I shoot my Glock 26 with a flush mag better than my 19 or 23... I was taught to shoot without a pinky on the grip anyway.

I carry this everyday
It’s a very formidable carry option. Thanks for watching and please subscribe if you haven’t already
I own one with a hammer and I love this little sucker shoots nice within 25 yards self-defense distance ammo does matter though it doesn't like the cheap stuff throws it everywhere
It’s just simple and effective that’s all you can ask for. Thanks for watching and commenting and please be sure to subscribe if you haven’t already

The Airweight is great but you definitely need to train with it. The double action tigger can make the gun move a lot in your hand and training is needed so that your shots don’t go low left of the target. With 5 shots, making each shot count is paramount. I suggest training 5 shots in 5 seconds. Any less time than that and your chances of missing the target increase too much. Any more time than 5 seconds and you put yourself at a disadvantage in terms of shots down range. Just my 2 cents.
Thank you for watching and thank you for the advice. Please be sure to subscribe if you have not already.
It`s a self defense gun and by the time you put your hand on the gun your threat is gonna be on you, attacks come fast and are violent, theres a video on YT showing at 10 ft a human can cover that distance in less than 2 seconds. you gonna get 2 off if you lucky.
@ak-488 yeah you have to be real quick for sure. That’s why you have to practice practice oractice
Wen it’s life or death you’ll shoot a revolver so fast will be a crazy show 2 🥺🤲🔥🔥🔥
Sure thing you will. Thanks for watching and be sure to subscribe if you haven’t already
I have one. I bought mine as a backup and for undercover use when I was in law enforcement. I also have a an S&W 649 with the shrouded hammer. I prefer that one actually but because of weight and carrying it on my ankle the 642 I have carried more. I have a pocket holster for it although I rarely carry it that way. Mine is accurate. For the roles I used it in it is hard to beat. The air weights in my opinion are to be carried a lot and shot a little, especially with plus p ammo.
We agree with all that especially the shoot little part lol. Thanks for watching and commenting and be sure to subscribe if you haven’t already. Thanks again
Both the 442 and 642 are great revolvers.
Yes sir they are. Thanks for watching and commenting and be sure to subscribe if you haven’t already. Thanks again
I wouldn’t necessarily say that a revolver with a hammer is old school. Smith and Wesson was making hammerless revolver‘s in the late 1800s.
I didn’t know that. Thanks for the info and for watching please be sure to subscribe if you haven’t already
Please check your ammo buy only .38 special it must say .38 SPL on the round itself not just .38 I bout .38 super +p for my 642 thinking it was it was the same as .38 special +P and boy was I wrong I shot it and was sooo powerful I was like dam then it jammed I’m like no way it’s a new gun. So I take it to gun smith and he said I have a guardian angel 👼 because the round blue up in the chamber and didn’t blow my hand and face off. Mind you I’ve been shooting since I was young mostly .223 ruger mini 14 revolvers shotguns and bolt action 22’s merit badge boys scouts in rifle and shotgun. My point is I’m not new to hunting and shooting but I made a life changing mistake so always double and triple check your ammo and show a gun shop the ammo especially if it seems different because the .38 ammo even though it didn’t have the SPL on it I thought it was the same so check y’all.
Absolutely
IDK but I'm really glad you posted this comment
I sholl have allat of 38 super rds it sholl fit in revolver 642 Never test it because like you said, its not .38 spl always do your research before trying new things‼️‼️

Easy to carry however for the majority of people it's difficult to shoot accurately.

U got yours for cheap I bought mine for $700 with the crimson laser grips very high priced of course because the laser but $700 for a revolver is high but she’s a good gun if u use the right ammo 😂 😂
For sure thanks for watching and commenting and be sure to subscribe if you haven’t already. Thanks again
If you prefer an exposed hammer, then just get the model 637, it's the exact same gun but has the exposed hammer. The Ruger LCR had a shrouded hammer when it first came out in 2008 but customers wanted the option of an exposed hammer so they came out with the LCRX. Both are great snub nose revolvers.
Yes sir I have the LCRX probably my favorite snubby. Thanks for watching and please subscribe if you haven’t already
Everyone run run run and defentley get this gun it’s a hands up gun it’s totally worth it get to your local gun store now it’s worth it it’s unbelievable
I take it that you like the gun lol. My wife carried a Ruger LCRX in .357 for years. Thanks for watching and commenting and please be sure to subscribe if you haven’t already
Love the 642 but not this channel.
Why is that?
Keep em coming Eugene!!
Haha that’s my name thanks for watching
Trash? Clean your gun.
Mind your business
Picking mine up at Dunham’s sports tomorrow. 469.99 may as well before it shoots up right? His review convinced me.
You can’t go wrong with this revolver at all. Thanks for watching and commenting and be sure to subscribe if you haven’t already. Thanks again
I paid 650 for one with the laser grips in 2019
Sounds about right!! Thanks for watching and commenting and be sure to subscribe if you haven’t already. Thanks again
My wife has a 642 it's her edc has about 100 rounds through it she loves says it shoots really good I never shot it yet told me it does have some recoil and is manageable and she is about 5 foot tall a small woman told her I would like to shoot it sometime soon
It’s very snappy but as she said very controllable. Thanks for watching and commenting and please be sure to subscribe if you haven’t already. Thanks again
Wow - if a 5ft tall woman can handle it then it can't be too bad! I have a Ruger LCRx and it's also very snappy - especially with +Ps... I think this is true of all compact, extremely lightweight revolvers though.
Yeah Carlos you are right. My wife carry’s a LCRX in 357 and it makes me bleed every time I touch it
@@GSquaredTactical Oh yeah - wow; I've seen a video of someone shooting .357s out of that one and it has huge recoil! 😄
"Before you buy"
Too late. I bought the 642 pro series a month ago.
That's good. How do you like it?.
I haven't put any rounds through it yet. I have a free range ticket, so I'll be going this weekend. I've been holding on to the little bit of ammo I have.
@@NatsaryahTX that's good. I've had one of mine since 2015, only been shot once.
Haha yeah it’s not something you shut much. Thank you guys for watching and commenting and be sure to subscribe if you haven’t already. Thanks again
@@GSquaredTactical I only took it to the range once. Thank you.
I have Pachmyer Diamond Pro grips, a Wilson Combat 13 lb trigger kit and I bobbed the hammer on my 637. I keep it in a Stiky holster iny pocket. It's very comfortable and easy to carry

" some chance of a snag"? When it is a tool you chose to possibly save your life you eliminate anything on that tool that is not needed. It is not a target shooting pistol, the sights are useless, you want your CC gun to fire as soon as you get that finger, any finger, into your attacker who`s probably already on you punching. In reality any threat at 10 ft away your hand should be on your gun.
Haha I agree with the 10’ maybe even 15’ lol. Thanks for watching and commenting and please be sure to subscribe if you haven’t already
“Revolver fetish” … 🤔😑
Say huh
Can this gun use 9mm bullets?
Technically you probably could but it would likely good to far into the cylinder and out of the reach of the firing pin. It’s best to use the ammo the gun was designed for. Thanks for watching and commenting and be sure to subscribe if you haven’t already
I love this gun. But I have to hold low to get center mass shots. Other than that, it’s a little beast with some +P loadings. Absolutely love it. Probably carry it more than my Beretta 92x compact. Just toss it in my pocket or Bianci minimalist holster and I forget the dang thing is on me. Lol. It’s a sweet lil gun for sure imo.
Nice thank you for the testimony
Why would you want a hammer on a pocket gun?
Just preference to each his own. I understand the argument but I prefer a hammer and I can easily put my hand in my pocket (with cargo pants or shorts) and place thumb over hammer so it doesn’t snag on way out and just as it clears the pocket drop the hammer with that same thumb and be ready at a single action 3 pound or less pull allowing a more accurate shot. I practiced at it until it was second nature and as I said to each his own.
Thanks for watching and commenting and be sure to subscribe if you haven’t already. Thanks again
And I want ask…”why would you want a revolver without a hammer?!! 😂😂😂
I agree Pops. One advantage of an internal hammer is the ability to shoot the gun while it is still in a coat pocket and not worry about the possibility of the hammer snagging on material.
Did you consider the model 637 which is the same gun with the exposed hammer (more traditional looking)? I like both styles.
I do like a revolver with a hammer. I’m old school so no hammer it’s not really a revolver to me. I’ve since sold this gun I mostly bought It for the review. Thanks for watching and commenting and please be sure to subscribe if you haven’t already
Do you get use to the recoil easy?
For sure. Once you know what to expect

8½ lb trigger aint bad. The trigger on an M4 is 8 lbs.
No not necessarily I don’t guess. Thanks for watching and please subscribe if you haven’t already!
Pachmayr Diamond Pro grips, stoned trigger job and a hammer spring by Wilson combat or Apex of a lowered poundage and this revolver is absolutely top notch. And for it's size and weight is the best choice as compared to many others for me. I think for first shots on target and eliminating failure to feed, eject, magazine partial ejection, jamming against an object and preventing the slide from cycling, forgetting to put one in the chamber. It's the supreme "first shots on target gun". Precisely, because it tends to eliminate those potential points of failure. Notice. I didn't say a revolver can't jam but if you check your revolver and clean it, well. I'd put my money on it and carry a N.Y. reload semi-auto for engagements with ISIS-K
Thanks for the info we will look into some of this. Thanks for watching and commenting and be sure to subscribe if you haven’t already. Thanks again
that gun is great , that frame lock is bs
What do you not like it?
@@GSquaredTactical oh it's the frame lock i don't like on the newer S&W , still love the guns just wish they hadn't added the lock on the side
I see yeah it was probably some regulation honestly
@@GSquaredTactical yes insurance
Figures
I own two. I carry one.
Sweet thanks for watching
@@GSquaredTactical you're welcome. I hope I never I have to pull it.
Thanks
