After replacing the stock springs with an Apex kit, it's my daily carry.

Can’t beat a J frame for simple and reliable concealment. Just don’t plan on not having your hand hurt after practicing with it.

I bought this revolver as my jogging gun. As I run during the very early morning hours, my 642 rides in a chest pouch. Tight to the body with no movement. The light weight is amazing and, when I jog, it’s like is not there. Ankle holsters and AIWB are also very comfortable carry modes. Along with a pocket holster for winter jacket carry. I am carrying it loaded with full wadcutters, as the recoil is very manageable. I love it so my much, I may purchase the Performance Center version with the polished trigger.

Great lightweight five shot pistol for females. No external hammer, light, and easy to conceal, double action pistol, which makes trigger pull very intentional

One of my favorite for pocket carry. Sits comfortable and well hidden in a sticky brand pocket holster all day. Very smooth trigger, albeit a little heavy, but that's to be expected in a Dao revolver. 5 stars

My first experience with a hammerless gun. I love that this is such a light gun and use it as my primary EDC. I have both IWB and OWB holsters. The quality of the S&W was exactly what I expected. 200 rounds fired with no issues what-so-ever. It's a S&W and you cannot go wrong.

It's a S&W revolver. What can one say? Excellent little gun for my wife to shoot or stick in a pocket. Can't go wrong here.

Great gun, it's a Smith & Wesson. so there have been no problems with it at all. Nice finish, reliable, well built. Buds is great to deal with.

What can I say, it’s a S&W revolver. Perfect size to carry every day. This thing is a little snappy with +P loads, but shoots soft with 125gr coated lead and 2gr of TiteGroup for practice.

Great order. Priced fairly and delivered as promised. She's thrilled.

firstly, delivery, transaction, packaging from buds wonderful as always, the gun, very attractive weapon, only put 25 rounds through it so far, shoots flawless, as most reviews show, this is a well made, impressive and reliable gun, so as a firearm it is fine, i personally rate this gun very highly, but it should be considered that the trigger pull is heavy, 14 pounds i believe, whilst that is not a problem for all, it is heavy enough to cause one to pull shots if the trigger is deemed to be heavy by the user, my wife did struggle with the weight of the trigger, again, that's not to be critical of the gun, but certainly a consideration in certain cases, all in all, a fine firearm.

Bud's has never let me down. Between myself and my son we've dealt with Bud's dozens of times. Very professional, reliable, etc. This little revolver is awesome. I got it for a very petite female friend because she wasn't able to chamber a round with my 1911, or 9mm. This S&W .38 is perfect for her.
