Snub Nose Fans?

I break out one of my 642 Airweight every now and then. After installing the Apex spring kit the trigger squeeze is 100% better and I can feel where they're gonna drop the hammer. Love 'em!

How reliable is that kit? Any light strikes? I have a 642 and would like a better trigger.
 
Old colt detective that I got from a good friend right before the cancer took him. He had a great story about it saving him from a robbery .

I've run about 100 rounds through one of them and not a single problem. The other 2 have 20 or so rounds and no problems. That being said, I've heard of some issues over the years but all 3 of my 642s run flawlessly with those kits installed.
 
Colt Cobra Agent is my fav lightweight snubnose. This time of year I don't use a holster, just goes in my vest pocket.

Love the cobra! I used to have an original but foolishly sold it years ago. I'm hoping Colt releases an alloy framed version soon.
 
I'm a big Smith snubbie fan, makes me feel like I'm in Goodfellas when I'm fondling one... there's still a couple I want but I get on different firearm kicks

I prefer a full sized carry gun (G20). When my accessories don't permit something that large I carry a LadySmith loaded with .357. I practice with mostly .38sp and end with a round of .357s. Magnum ammo is not a lot of fun to shoot in that gun.

I installed a kit in my 637 I got from my dad after he passed away. Like you said, 100% better on the trigger and very smooth when shooting with having the hammer back first.
 
Any recommendations for an IWB holster for a 637? I don't need the best, but would like a comfortable one that doesn't break the bank to buy.

I have a simple suede holster with a clip. Mine is probably a Safariland, but they don't make anything but junk Kydex anymore. Its probably along the lines of this Bianchi at Academy. If you have a good belt, you can place it anywhere along your waist you like.

Thanks, I do like the looks of that one and it does have good reviews. I'd like to start carrying mine versus my Ruger 9mm, and this looks like a good option.
