i have the stainless/alloy version, the 642
very nice, light, study, handy...i don't need a hammer because i only shoot wheelguns DA and i like the "sealed" (from the top) action
got to know it using larger grips before changing over to "boot grips" for carry...it can go everywhere
can be quite a handful with 158gr lswchp +p ammo, i ususally carry federal personal defense jhp (because i can't find the federal nyclad "chief's special" (non-+p) loading)
