Some choices are just too tough to make.

However, after a little research here and there I was able to confirm the fact that Glock is still offering a $100 discount to LEO's, Active Reserve and Retired Military and now even adding Firefighters and EMT first responders to the list. WOW!!

So a standard Glock 27 will run me $398 CHA CHING!!! So that will be first and since the price is right will begin searching for a used S&W 642 should be able to pick one up for around $250-$300 OH YEAH DADDY LIKE!

So my answer to the problem is to buy both. Oh yes very happy.

Not even a real choice there for me. The 642 is a fantastic gun and very easy to carry in the pocket. It's size and weight make it a hand full to shoot but for a pocket pistol, size and weight are everything.

I have a Glock26 and a Smith 442. Both are small enough to pocket carry, but I think the Smith is, by far, the easiest to carry. It hides better and weighs less loaded (Certainly due to the amount of ammo the Glock holds). The Glock is definitely easier to shoot comfortably. Since getting my Smith 442, my Glock doesn't see much use, though. Both have benefits.
