This is a great price on a great concealed carry package. If you are looking for a light-weight J-framed wheelgun, the 642 is the perfect option. Add in the Crimson Trace Laser grips, and you have a formidable combination. The Laser Grips add comfortable padding to the backstrap to help cusion recoil, which is fairly strong in a 15-ounce revolver rated for .38 Special +P ammunition. I wouldn't want to shoot .357 Magnum rounds out of a revolver this size. The Laser aids in aiming, which is great since the sights on this revolver really aren't much help. This type of gun is a short-range point-and-shoot type of defensive solution in my opinion. The Laser provides additional accuracy and range. It is quite bright, even in daylight. I think that a laser is a must for a home-defense gun and a very good idea for a concealed carry weapon as well. The trigger on the 642 that I received is a long and heavy but smooth double-action that feels very good to me. I am very happy with my puchase of this revolver - S&W quality all the way.
