Hi,
I just ordered a S&W 642 with a 2in. barrel-- I like the old saying six (or in this case five for sure) and the gun is not much bigger than my Beretta .22 Bobcat-- I was thinking about a Ruger LCP,Kel-Tec .380, or a Beretta .32 but went with the 642 when I was able to order a new one for $365—I will probably carry the .22 as a back up in summer and a Glock 19 in the winter--

So now on to ask for more advice-- Best ammo for practice (cheap and clean) in .38 ? -- Best ammo for carry in +P ?

I am also looking for some holster ideas-- I prefer OWB carry at about 4 o’clock position-- I am not sure if I will go with a belt or clip on to pants kind of holster—Any ideas on other kinds of carry would also be welcome—

Thanks for the help—
