Tough to conceal a 45, so I went with this instead.

Yes the 642 is nice, even with a 2 in. barrel. Hides well though I know. Some people I know favor 9s but that caliber never thrilled me. I load the 45 light so it very controlable and still good at 75Ft. 45s tough to hide? yes! but once mastered it's a breez. P/S you got to pratice now and then, get to the range as much as ya can. My buddy and I go once a week, trying to get him to reload still. It's very relaxing turning out 6 or 700 rounds now and then.

on lane splitting in California....most cage drivers are not aware it is legal. Most policing agencies..would call it Lane sharing to correct.

Been thinking about getting a pistol myself. Used to shoot all the time but haven't had much chance to do it in recent years.

I would prefer something in 10mm or .45, always liked S&Ws and Sigs, been out of it long enough that I have no clue whats out there anymore.

Lane splitting aka white line dancing is a legal grey area in the UK

We are allowed to ride the white line in slow or stopped traffic, provided it is safe to do so.

In other words while the activity is legal if anything happens it is automatically the riders fault as it obviously wasn't safe to do so.

Lane sharing - two bikes next to each other in a lane isnt legal, although you will see it at traffic lights.

Don't Detonics do a .45 in a size that is concealable?

Well, I know I could have purchased pretty much the exact same gun except in .357 form. However, it would have added $400.00 to the cost, and a snub-nose .357 isn't exactly a great gun to fire more than once.
