Morning y'all.
Coffee and tea are hot.

Mine was made in early 60's. I don't remember which year. It takes a bit to get used to the flat latch.

'Tis 22 and overcast. "Colder. Cloudy. A chance of snow showers in the morning then snow showers likely in the afternoon. Snow accumulation around 1 inch. Highs in the upper 30s. Temperatures falling into the upper 20s in the afternoon. North wind 10 to 15 mph. Chance of snow 60 percent."
Winter is back.

Wow, whatever you have must have missed us! 37 and fair here.

"Mostly sunny, with a high near 55. Breezy, with a northwest wind 13 to 23 mph, with gusts as high as 33 mph."

And we've had pretty similar weather for the last several days. I guess we did have a cloudy day in the 40s, and a night where we wondered if it had sprinkled a couple drops.

I saw mine offered at a South Orlando LGS, I just happened to wander in.
My gun was a consignment, it appeared unfired in S&W Blue & silver box.
I haggled "down for cash" price and with my CCW permit walked out with it.

That was in January 2010, carried it several years, bought and tried and sold a couple of auto loaders.
And now, full cycle I carry the Mod. 36 again. Revolver is just near fool proof IMHO.

I mostly carry revolvers. Currently on my hip is the Taurus 66.
To and from verk I am currently carrying a Taurus 450 in .45 Colt. It is a K frame size 5 shot with 2" barrel.
My church gun is currently a snubnose S&W 15-3.

Got just enough sn*w to make the roads slick.

The spindle sander came yesterday. Hoping to use it tomorrow.

I have 2 J- frames, a Model 342PD AirLite that weighs 11 ounces unloaded and a Model 60-7 Ladysmith 3 inch that I bought for my Mom

My wife has my her 3" J frame.

If I find another, I'd jump on it ...mean while I have this circa 1946 M&P (pre Mod 10)

I have to say, I like this spare Rounds pouch.

It is heavy duty, came with 4 speed load strips (holds 2 = 10 rounds)
It will be on my left side belt and the J Frame in a Desantis pocket holster in my right pocket.
I wore it to a Restaurant tonight for its first outing.

I give it two thumbs up

Well, been a bit busy here the last few days. Pretty weather, if I could get the back to quit growling, I would enjoy it more. I carried a 642 for many years as my pocket gun. Got talked out of it by a Williamson County Detective some years ago. Today my always gun is a Ruger LCP2 in .380 with the 7 round magazine, what a great little gun. Got my Sunday School lesson ready for tomorrow. May God bless you all, my friends.

I was at my normal haunt, friendly LGS, I note his stock of CCw guns was sort of low.
Consigned guns were depleted, He said business had been brisk.
There were 3 guns waiting on background checks, he'd opened at 10am and it only 11:15am

One of the guns waiting was an older Dan Wesson model 14 consignment that was a little rough.
Even so, it had not been out more than a day, came in Friday and was snapped up Sat morning.
The gun has some red rust blooms just above the grips, and some on the cylinder.
I didn't ask the purchased price and the hang tag was over with paperwork, so I may never know.
But, I put my card down, and Ted will tell the owner I can " convert and card the rust "
It won't be "as new" but it will conserve the finish and blend in rather nicely.
We'll set if I get the job. $:-\$

Another consigned gun was remarkable in its asking price.
A Ruger LCR 38cal. it has a LaserMax Laser, the consigner is "INFLATED" wanting $700

So, the hangtag says $789 that is about $200 + over MSRP retail.
Who knows, it just might get it $:-\$

On another note: My wife was pet sitting for a friend last night, so I was a Batchlor.
I decided to go out to dinner and try out my spare cartridge pouch. (above)
So, I get there and see they've gone anti- 2nd, a sign in the window "gun free zone".
This is a new wrinkle, I ate there last week, and no such sign existed

I ate elsewhere last evening, and will continue to do so, sadly I liked that place

Wow, a great day at Church today. Had a lady come as a visitor I had invited. She sat with my Missus and I, really enjoyed the Service. Our Pastor had a really good message today and a Young guy [early 20s] was visiting with a friend of his. I got to talk to him after the service and then got to lead him to the Lord. Man, what a great way to start this week!

Hair Trigger Jim · « **Reply #112 on:** February 25, 2024, 11:59:12 PM »

Deacon, that is as good as it gets!

We had a blessed church service today as well, and as always, the Lord provided. My wife and I were leading singing/playing today, and we were apparently able to be a blessing even though the morning was crazy enough I didn't even realize until I was at church that I'd forgotten to put on a belt! And our new pastor was there for his first Sunday "on duty" and preached a good sermon. I was on the pastoral search committee (our previous pastor had left last fall), so having him there and hearing him preach was especially rewarding.

Your 642 Lightweight Alloy Frame @ 14.6 oz is about 5 oz lighter than my nickel 36 @ 19.6 oz.
That's big in the CCw world.
But the 36 is only an oz heaver that my Sig 365 @ 18.5 oz so I'm use to the feel.
After 2 broken FP's in the Sig I had lost confidence.

I keep my eyes open for a 642 Lightweight on the secondary market, but the seldom if ever show up,
in the consignment case

I too am looking for a used 642. It is a bit more sweat resistant than my 442.

I can't recall if I've ever seen one consigned, course I don't cruse GB"s classified's or haunt any other LGS's
all that much.
Meanwhile the 36 will serve, I will mention to my friend (LGS) I'm on the hunt

May go visit him today.

Edit: having said the above, I decided to cruse...

I guess it's not a bad price, but after shipping, FFL fee ,
I'd be at or about the same if I order a new one from my FFL.

I sent the link to you because I believe it's offered in your State $:-\$
