Happy new year, gents.
My birthday was last week and my wife surprised the hell out of me with a Smith 642 snub nosed 38(<span style="color: #FF0000">I have never worried about it before, but this is the first 642 I have had that does NOT have a lock. And it is brand new. Not sure how Smith did the locks, but this brand new one came without a lock, so, cool)</span>. She had heard me talking about getting another pocket revolver recently because I had traded all my little guns away and only had full sized pistols.
I have had several 642's over the years and really like them for when you just want to drop something in a pocket, so she went out and grabbed one.
At any rate, I am going to be picking up a pocket holster for it, and will also need to stock up on 38 ammo. I only stock 45acp, 5.56 and 7.62. Although I do reload, just mostly rifle. That was one of the reasons I got rid of my last 642, ammo commonality.
I will probably order some ammo to see what this thing shoots well, but wont shoot it a ton. Are there any recent improvements in 38 ammo for short barreled revolvers I should consider?
And lastly, any new pocket holsters come online recently?
Thanks guys.
