Not sure what they are asking for this PC 642 but a 642-1 (no lock) with an Apex kit is pretty sweet in my opinion. Got my 642-1 on GB for about $310. Apex kit is $26. I have no need for moon clips as they are too bulky for carry for me.

Jesus paid a debt he did not owe,
Because I owed a debt I could not pay.
Picked one up and sent it right out for an XS front sight.
The end product is likely equivalent, but I think the difference is the unmodified factory gun for legal reasons, and the polishing/snowflake qualities of performance center.Originally Posted by Irelander
Beautiful. Where did you get the sight work done?
No, that's the odd thing. They did not get bent. They would accept 4 rounds and then the 5th just would not go in, using an appropriate tool. I don't think that the extractor groove (or whatever that part is) on a revolver casing are kept to the same specs as they are on autopistol rounds that rely on it for extraction. Sometimes rounds from a new box of Gold Dot just would not work with clips that previously worked with Gold Dot. It got to be too much of a hassle so I stopped using them.

I handled a couple at the NRA show back in April. I thought the action was pretty nice on them.
Much cleaner job that I got on mine... They created a nubbin out of the ramp and then glued the big dot on. Probably a little cheaper but not nearly as nice to look at.

My Performance Center J-Snub started life as a 642, but was re-named M460, during the era when every variant seemed to gets its own model designation. (Yes, "460" was re-used for a later X-Frame.) The way I understand it, plenty of early 642 samples were rejected as cosmetically defective, due to the aluminum frame being too different from the stainless parts, so were re-finished and given action jobs. The 042 was given a blue-colored finish, and the M460 a matte black finish and Mag-na-porting.
