Century VZ2008 or S&W 642?

[dustin]

Help me decide.

I am having trouble deciding which to get first, a Century build of the VZ58 (VZ2008) or a S&W 642

Eventually I want both. The VZ2008 on J&G is about same price as 642 on buds gun shop right now.

I know about the magazine laws in MD... I'd get them in NC or VA...

Thoughts?

First weapon, I'd get the .38, fairly inexpensive to shoot and easy to store.
That would be a good campanion for my Marlin 1894.

If you already own a rifle or hand gun, I'd get the one you don't own.





.... and while you're at it, pick me up a PMR-30, I'll drive down and pay you for it

$600 for a purse?

Any particular reason you prefer a revolver over a semi?

nope. but already have a semi. want a small wheelgun. i like the j-frames

have a couple rifles already, but none like or similar to the VZ

those PMR-30s are sick!! i shot one of those FN five-seven a while back and from what i hear its very similar. very controllable under recoil too. the 5.7 round is $$$$ though.

too bad you cant just get the PMR-30 and then get the mag from VA

Gotcha. The 642 is definitely a good choice.

Still like my Ruger speed six double action. Shoots both .357 and .38. Had it forever. Best ammo I found was the stuff the border patrol was using down in AZ in the 80s. Wish I could remember what it was, all I know is it was .38. .357 makes a good bang, but I can't hit a can from 20'. Still what I keep it loaded with tho.
