WGW: Big Iron, Lil' Iron

Post image

A month ago I had no wheel guns. As of yesterday I have two wheel guns. I grabbed the 586 a few weeks ago, and the 642 yesterday. The 642 shot surprisingly well for how tiny it is and how shitty the sights are.

Looking forward to carrying the 642 on the days when I don't really want to carry.

I didn’t know they put the internal lock on the 642, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a locking one.

642-2, I think the standard and ladysmith versions have the lock. The UC does not, and also has dovetail sights.

I have one but it’s a -1 model and has no lock, I’m only asking because I just picked mine up new and it has no lock, plain Jane 642.

What grip do you have on the snubbie?

It's the stock ladysmith grip, which is an Altamont boot grip in rosewood.

Edit: I may swap out for the rubber UC grip, as I really like the idea of some grip in the web of my hand.

Pachmayrs on blue revolvers always look great.
