Shoot one before you make that decision.. Very little to hold on to, excessive recoil, virtually no sights and a 12 pound trigger pull. Easy to carry but for most the negatives outnumber the positives. I know two people that shoot one well but most struggle to get mildly acceptable accuracy with a lightweight snubby.This is actually one of the things that attracted me to the J frame. That, and the aluminum frame. I think it would be a nice size and weight for me. I'm pretty small but my hands are on the bigger side. Or at least my fingers are long. So while the G43 does feel good with the pinky extension, I imagine the 642 might fit my hand better. When it comes down to it, I'll have to compare both side by side.
Everyone's input has been quite helpful.
