(5 out of 5) A second superb EDC
by from Springfield, MO on

Because of the factory trigger job and moon ring cut, this revolver has very quickly moved to to the top on my carry rotation. Although I prefer the black finish of my previously purchased Model 442, this Performance Center 642 is so much slicker in so many ways. Worth every penny.

(5 out of 5) High quality small revolver
by from Peoria, AZ on

I purchased this for my wife since she does not like the complexity of semi-autos. She loves the feel and looks of it. The Performance Center model provides a very smooth action. The finish and grip are first class. Rem UMC 130 gr ammo produces a manageable recoil in this lightweight.

by from White, GA on

Fast shipping! No issues from start to finish. Received the gun today! This makes number two. The triggers are the best out of the box that I have owned! I will definitely purchase from this company in the future!
