Best all around Snubby

I have several of these for family members that are fired frequently at the range. We love em; all are stainless and relatively maint free. Cheaper than the Smiths and my opinion at least equal. Wish I had a few Colts in the detective specials (6 rounds) but they are outa sight in price!

S&W 638 bodyguard,but is punishing when shooting +P-ouch.

So far I'm loving my 642 carry comp. In .38 wadcutters you can't tell the difference between it and a regular 642 but the comp makes a hell of a difference when shooting high gas volume +p stuff.

A "rubber" grip covering the backstrap makes a whole lot of difference:)

I carry a 642 with standard pressure in pocket in summer and a 640 with +ps in belt holster in winter. As you can see I use different grips, but both have backstrap covered. 642 wears Uncle Mike "Combats" which are standard S&W "issue" and offer good concealment in pocket. 640 wears Pachmayr COMPACs which absorb the additional recoil of the +Ps.

That's what I have on my 640, Uncle Mikes.
