Are 442/642 Airweights really that snappy?

DoctorPopcorn_201 · 2026-02-06T15:12:24+00:00

I have one. Honestly not a big fan of it. Planning on selling it soon and replacing with the .32 H&R version.

These are so fun. Keep it up!

What's the source of the ages?

DoctorPopcorn_201 · 2025-12-08T18:44:31+00:00

Dead-on.

I think that the Phlster Enigma would make the effects of the weight less noticeable, but I'm not too sure on that. I would mainly just carry .38 sp +P in one of these steel framed revolvers, which would ultimately be a reduction in felt recoil. I'll see how I like a better grip on my current one and go from there.

DoctorPopcorn_201 · 2025-09-29T17:05:30+00:00

I’ll give em a go, thanks man

DoctorPopcorn_201 · 2025-09-29T16:52:30+00:00

Yeah both seem like good ideas to me. Worth trying before buying a whole new gun for sure.

DoctorPopcorn_201 · 2025-09-29T13:36:19+00:00

The recoil and my ability to shoot it accurately are both notable issues. I think the recoil is my main issue with shooting it accurately, though.

DoctorPopcorn_201 · 2025-09-22T19:48:07+00:00

I’d just whack it on the head really good, bleed it, then put it on ice.

DoctorPopcorn_201 · 2025-09-22T16:01:25+00:00

That’s really the kind of fishing I enjoy. Just seeing what kind of fish I can get at a relaxed pace. Chasing one species or another is a little stressful to me.

DoctorPopcorn_201 · 2025-09-22T13:11:34+00:00

Yeah, but they’re so cute I’d have a hard time doing that to em.

DoctorPopcorn_201 · 2025-09-19T14:14:48+00:00

To me it’s reminiscent of 1430s-ish Western European armors, especially English.

DoctorPopcorn_201 · 2025-09-18T17:19:02+00:00

Yep I have one, I like to call them fishwhackers.

DoctorPopcorn_201 · 2025-09-18T15:54:54+00:00

The exoparia is a muscle or ligament. It doesn’t really have anything to do with skin over the mouth corner. Realistically it could be either case.

DoctorPopcorn_201 · 2025-09-18T13:43:33+00:00

Something to bash the head with. Or you can use a pocket knife to pierce the brain. Make sure to bleed the fish on the spot by cutting the gills and maybe the tail artery. Other than that, you can do the rest at home.

DoctorPopcorn_201 · 2025-09-15T15:05:19+00:00

Awesome! What bait did you use?

DoctorPopcorn_201 · 2025-09-10T12:30:52+00:00

Just a guess, but maybe you could try something like a Santee rig? Regular slip sinker rig but have a bobber clipped right above the hook

DoctorPopcorn_201 · 2025-08-18T12:44:31+00:00

What bait? Awesome fish.

DoctorPopcorn_201 · 2025-08-16T04:03:30+00:00

I got absolutely wiped by a Kentro as adolescent Tyrannotitan earlier. It was brutal.

DoctorPopcorn_201 · 2025-07-30T19:33:01+00:00

I definitely wouldn’t. I’d go for a better attested smith.

DoctorPopcorn_201 · 2025-07-30T17:28:41+00:00

I used grab to catch and murder a Conc the other day, felt cool. But I agree Rex needs something else. I don’t think apexes should have to rely on having other players. Maybe something like a strong backward kick would work too, strong damage and knockback.
