Recoil/accuracy.
I have a S&W 642 .38+p(airweight), the recoil is a bit much, making it difficult for good follow up shots. The accuracy on the gun is horrible, probably because its a snubnose. Only having 5 shots is starting to bug me, and speedloaders wouldnt really work because the shells are kind of a pain to get out of the cylinder. I want to get a glock 23 and wondered if anyone here would know how the recoil and accuracy is compared to the 642. Also, I want to sell my 642, and wanted to know how much I could get for it. It is in better then excellent condition, with only about 30 rounds through it, only shot it one day.

Looks like they are selling for 350-400 range 0 -
i have one in .357, the gun is very accurate it is the sights, and their short radius that makes it hard to shoot accurately, i shot mine at a bug gun, and won, i was against kel-tecs, glock 26's and a few 3" 45's 0 -
I've fired my friends .357 Airlight, great trigger and accurate. But the recoil is just obscene. 0 -
That's why when I bought a snubby I got a model 637,, which is in 38 Special instead of 357 mag. I figured (correctly) that recoil would be too great in such a light firearm, so why pay the price for a 357 gun when I'm just gonna load it with 38 Special anyway to reduce recoil?
38 Specials are half the price and just as deadly.0 -
No offensive, but it sounds like your problem isn't the gun. How accurate can you expect to be if you've only shot it 30 times.
I used to have a lite-weight snubby too and I thought it was quite accurate, but it took a few rounds to get the hang of it.0 -
I dunno, 30 rounds might be enough to tell you don't like the feel of the firearm. Accuracy not withstanding, if you don't like how it feels when you fire, it's not the right gun for you. 0
