Well, I know that. Maasad Ayoob torture tested an Airweight with +p's years ago. It failed after a lot of shooting. Basically, the gun just loosened up to the point where it was no longer functional. There was no catastrophic failure.

I am older now, and I confess that I do not like recoil. So +p's are fine in a heavy barrel Model 10 (this is for me, now) but I carry lower recoil ammo in an Airweight.

I just have a suspicion that all of those snubbies that I see used in my dealer's case were bought by folks that had not shot handguns before and they were surprised by the recoil and blast. They got scared and sold the gun back to the dealer. The 642 is an airweight, and I think that s rosenthal should know that there are other options in ammo.

By the way...I shot "low recoil" Hydra-Shoks and they are NOT low recoil by any stretch of the imagination. They have ballistics that match +p ammo. I fired them in a Model 37 Airweight and thought that I had blown my hand off!
