It's a slick six shot, easily controllable "Pocket Gun".

I can't believe somebody has not suggested :

Easy to conceal, lightweight and never too much gun!

Oh well maybe some would prefer :

I like a 38 for such small guns. I had the similar gun in 357 but with a snubby its hard to get bang for the charge if you will.

The more I think about it the more I'd prefer a 7-shot .327 Federal 2-3 inch lightweight frame.

Should easily fit in what is normally a 6 shot .357.

The 642 is probably THE ideal, modern, 5 shot, “Airweight” revolver.
I carry one in a coat pocket when weather’s cooler/cold. Nice to have an option of being able to have a firing grip on revolver, shoot through coat- if necessary.
