I think my 642 is perfect for concealed carry. I considered the 638 but decided SA was impractical for self-defense. I read somewhere the 642 has a somewhat better DA trigger over the 638 because the 642 has different internals with no SA available. Take that for what it's worth. Also the 442 is the same as the 642 in a blued finish. Pick whichever you prefer. All three guns are in my mind superior for CC. I'd stay away from a snub with a spurred hammer.
