I've narrowed it down to a Smith 642. Our LGS got in a couple today. One is a basic 642, but it is a no lock, which I like. It is $419 out the door. The other is a Performance Center Talo 642 Enhanced Action. The trigger is WAY better, and the cylinder is MUCH smoother on this one. But it has the lock. It is $469 out the door. And I'm not buying both

No lock. Buy the Apex J-frame spring kit.

If performance center is a choice, performance center is the answer.... This is your answer. Then click on this link FWIW I have the Apex trigger in two J frames including an older 642 and it's excellent but for only a few bucks more I'd have gone the Performance Center route and a hole plug if if it had been available. ETA- those grips are really cool but you'll probably want to switch to rubber grips if you plan to shoot it a lot. I love large caliber handguns but with +P rounds those airweights are not fun to shoot. |

No lock and the Apex Spring Kit. Best $25 you can spend on a J-frame. (Edit: if you're going to do the install yourself, get the special tool. Trust me.)

Personally I'd go with a Sig P938, in fact that's what I did after having my J-Frame for a while. I bought it for the wife who never liked it and honestly I can understand why as it's a bitch to shoot well. Mine was a lock model but I never had a problem, a quick 15 min fix will take care of it once and for all. I would get a trigger kit though.

I had buy another trigger pack for a PTR 91 after he whacked away on mine and rendered it unless. I would not let him do a trigger job on a Nerf gun. OP, get the 642 no lock. Buy a Apex kit and save. The PC gun does not do anything better than a regular 642 with a Apex kit in it. I have a 642 and a 442. Both have the Apex kit and are 100% reliable.

I hate the lock all the way. That said, I have two that aren't available without a lock--a .500 mag and a 617 10-shot. They haven't fucked up.
