S&W Model 642CT Centennial revolver: Lightweight Security

!±8± S&W Model 642CT Centennial revolver: Lightweight Security

I like the autos for many reasons but the revolver still has much to offer the police officer or armed citizen: proven reliability, simplicity, and ease of use. For those unfamiliar with guns and some women, a quality revolver is generally an ideal gun. Here I do a "combat" review of a Smith and Wesson Model "Centennial" 642CT lightweight revolver in .38 Special +P chambering. It's an outstanding choice for concealed carry, backup gun, or in-house security. It's amazingly feathery at only 15.5 oz and as such beats many semi-auto handguns in that department. Other upsides include a full stainless steel barrel (no composite or liner construction here), beautiful matte finished, tough aluminum frame, superb quality throughout, tight lockup, wonderful trigger, excellent grips, and the typically fast S&W cylinder latch. This 642 model also feature very comfortable and very useful Crimson Trace laser grips which add a measure of proven deterrence against bad guys (better to never have to fire a shot I say). Downsides might include very limited firepower at 5 rounds, high cost (0-ish!), bulkier width for concealment, bad sights (they are horrible), need for bulky speed loaders, and inability to fire single action in this Centennial version. In lightweight revolvers, I prefer the shrouded but accessible hammer on the S&W "Bodyguard" 638 Model, just in case you have to make a longer range accurate shot. But this of course is no target gun...intended for self-defense within ...
