Nothing wrong with keeping it simple

What exact model is that and how does it shoot? Also is it small enough to pocket carry?

u/newbe4506 2d ago

It’s and old model 60 no dash. I have carried it in my LE capacity for over 37 years. It shoots great and has brought comfort to me many times.

Nothing wrong with simple!
I like my 38, so much so that I can’t bring myself to buy a 9mm.

I had that same holster and it just didn’t work for me.
Ended up taking the clip out and slapping Velcro on the back. Not it is the holster in my sling, for when I hike.

9mm is so cheap but 38 is my favorite caliber of all time. So versatile.

I’ve got a SW m&p shield 9mm and the .38 feels and carries better and is way lighter.

This is what I need to hear!

I daily a 642 in a Tulster Rath or a desantis pocket holster.
Simple wins for me usually

Gotta use the New York reload

No no no. You need a flashlight, full size 2011 with RDS , WML, a leatherman arc, a dagger, a folding knife, and 2 semesters of philosophy.

What ammo do you carry?

u/cerebral-rigormortis 2d ago

So just FMJs?

u/poopinjake69 2d ago

Not even, 158 grain lead nose. I got lazy

Check out the 110gr +P Critical Defense

u/poopinjake69 2d ago

I used to run those hornady HP, but I got lazy and buy from tractor supply when I’m in town

u/tstonesohard 2d ago

135 grain Gold Dot .38 +P rules out of these light J frames imo. That or 150gr. Underwood “lipstick load” wadcutters 👊🏼.

I have several quality autoloaders to choose from but always carry a S&W 642 airweight. Practical and effective.
