Reader Evan contacted me last week about my Smith & Wesson 242ti. It seems he came across one recently and was interested in it, and asked my opinion of the gun. I relayed my impressions, told him that I was happy with mine, and he wound up getting the 242ti he'd asked about:
Oooohhh...
Aaaahhhh...
That is one clean looking pistola there, Evan. I am impressed. So, apparently, was Evan:
Just to give you an update... I bought the pistol for $650 and took it to the range. I fired at least 60-75rds through it and it worked flawless. The trigger is like butter... I can shoot better with this gun better than any of the pistols I own, it's crazy accurate! I need to find some of those stripper clips, speed loaders, grips, and a few different holsters. I want to carry this once I get my permit, so I want to have a few options for carry. Any idea's and suggestions in those areas? Thanks again for your time in advance!I referred him to MidwayUSA and Brownells for the speedloaders (basically, the QuikStrips or TuffStrips or any other 7-8 round speed strip will work) and to Michael and Dennis for holsters. No matter which way he goes, he'll have a well-made, beautiful holster in which to carry his shiny new (to him) Smith & Wesson.
Welcome to Club 242 Evan!
That is all.

Liar! You are INFATUATED! With yours.
I don't blame you, they're nice guns.
Shame S&W doesn't make them anymore. Then again they make the M&P9c which is the same gun, just holds more!
Brother, if S&W made this with a titanium/scandium mix like the 340, I would buy *two*...
Seven shots of .357 Magnum in a revolver weighing ~ 15 ounces?
Three words: SIGN. ME. UP.
OR you could get a Kahr CW45 and get 7 shots of .45 ACP for half the price and I promise to stand behind you and kick you in the taint with each shot just to get the sensation right! ;)
Tho they DO have the 386 Night Guard which with a hammer-bob is kinda-close.
Just because I like to meddle:

Put those together, and maybe bob the hammer and grind off the cocking notch on the hammer strut and you have a snazzy little carry gun with zero collector's value.
You can also pull the "zit" out pretty easy, and with the black frame a little dob of epoxy putty should hide the S&W Abomination hole....

Evan needs to learn the definition of "pistol".
That said: SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY! I carry a Tauraus M85UL .38 every day of the week. The even-more-ultra lightweight .357 makes me drool.
