I tried twice to buy one of these 642s from the performance center. Luckily they were ordered through Davidson's and could be returned. The first one had the barrel clocked or canted and was returned for another. The second also had a clocked/canted barrel as well as a trigger that was very sluggish to return (bad spring? or may needed cleaning or deburring?). This one was also returned and the lgs simply refunded my money. I gave up trying to buy a 642 and went elsewhere. What a shame. The add claims it to have had a tuned action. Really?
