S&W Model 642CT Centennial revolver: Lightweight Security
BackS&W Model 642CT Centennial revolver: Lightweight Security video:
I like the autos for many reasons but the revolver still has much to offer the police officer or armed citizen: proven reliability, simplicity, and ease of use. For those unfamiliar with guns and some women, a quality revolver is generally an ideal gun. Here I do a "combat" review of a Smith and Wesson Model "Centennial" 642CT lightweight revolver in .38 Special +P chambering. It's an outstanding choice for concealed carry, backup gun, or in-house security. It's amazingly feathery at only 15.5 oz and as such beats many semi-auto handguns in that department. Other upsides include a full stainless steel barrel (no composite or liner construction here), beautiful matte finished, tough aluminum frame, superb quality throughout, tight lockup, wonderful trigger, excellent grips, and the typically fast S&W cylinder latch. This 642 model also feature very comfortable and very useful Crimson Trace laser grips which add a measure of proven deterrence against bad guys (better to never have to fire a shot I say). Downsides might include very limited firepower at 5 rounds, high cost ($550-ish!), bulkier width for concealment, bad sights (they are horrible), need for bulky speed loaders, and inability to fire single action in this Centennial version. In lightweight revolvers, I prefer the shrouded but accessible hammer on the S&W "Bodyguard" 638 Model, just in case you have to make a longer range accurate shot. But this of course is no target gun...intended for self-defense within about 15 yds or less. In that role the 642CT Centennial will excel, delivering five adequately powerful .38 Special +P rounds with good accuracy and reliability... if you're up to the task. The 642 then is an easy-to-carry, reliable, well-made piece of security that, in its certain roles, I recommend highly. Nutnfancy Likability Scale: 7 out of 10 ** Thanks goes to VanWagenen's in Provo, Utah, USA for hosting this review. Without them it would not be possible. This is another "combat" review by Nutnfancy i.e. an impromptu, non-scripted, non-researched review of the weapon using my existing knowledge. Some details and omissions should be expected.
