Title: Smith and Wesson Model 442
Post by: XAFSSGT on January 24, 2016, 07:00:15 PM: I'm interested in one of these little black revolvers. .38SP +P is a nice option, and it feels good in my hands.

Does anyone own one?

If so, do you any experiences/feedback?

Thanks!

Post by: HighlandLofts on January 24, 2016, 09:43:43 PM: I have several J-Frame Smiths, my main everyday carry is a 642. I carry it in a nylon pocket holster in my right front pants pocket everyday/allday now for four years.
I did pick up a nice stainless 640 that is ported but haven't had time to go shoot it yet, my 642 will remain my carry gun.
You can't beat the Smiths & Rugers.

I'd put them in the same category as the Ruger LCR, which is what my current wife carries. Either, is a great little gun for their intended purpose. Not that this part matters much but I think the 442 is a better looking gun than is the LCR. :tup:

Post by: livnright on January 25, 2016, 09:20:32 AM: i was looking at the smith and ruger. and my choice was based and the feel and the trigger pull . check them both out before you buy. my tarus in 22mag is really bad.
