I had a 642 for years but sold it to buy an M&P340 so that I could stick 357's in it for hiking in the UP. Then Buffalo Bore came out with their .38 +P Outdoorsman load so I stuck with that. I still like it better than the 642 because of the tritium front sight. I've had a G19/23 since 1994 so I bought a 43 when they came out, thinking it would replace the 340. It hasn't totally since it's so much easier to just throw the J in my pocket when I'm in a hurry.
