Smith & Wesson Model 442 38 Special J-Frame with No Internal Lock

Installed crimson trace grips and had some parts cerakoted. I like it. And it is as accurate as you can get. Nice ankle back up. Just S&W quality.

Amazingly accurate, easy to carry and 100% reliable with Smith & Wesson quality.

Ive been EDC for 30 years. I like carrying my full size 9mm 92D more than I carry this. It feels like an explosion in my hand with every round and its not easy to use the sights. Ive stopped carry +p rounds and I now only shoot it once a yr at annual qualifications for my ROCC. The cylinder makes it awkward to carry in a pocket and 18oz 8 shot 9mm feel lighter in a belt holster. And its only 5 shots. I dont understand why people like this gun

Gonna keep it short and sweet. Get one if you can. This is one sweet revolver. I am currently carrying mine as backup / ankle gun with a bugbite ankle holster highly recommended FYI to compliment my department issued M&P 2.0 9mm. Fits snugly and pretty much disappears on your person. I keep this by my wallet and phone, and when i just wanna roll out quickly. It fits right in any pocket and you forget its there. I do recommend some sort of pocket holster simply for safety purposes. I also bought the silver 642 model for my 65 year old mother who lives alone and needs something for EDC and home defense. My mom wanted something to carry but she is afraid to carry with one in the pipe w /o a safety. Plus I was scared she would actually remember to rack the slide when / if it came time to rumble !! She felt comfortable with this setup immediately. She's gonna carry it in a cheap little Walmart makeup bag in her purse. If you're looking for something for the woman in your life that she wont be intimated to carry EDC, this is the one !! No slide to rack or magazine to load. Just drop and go easy breezy. Hard to mess it up. This thing is Ready to roll right out of the box, super easy to setup for first time EDC user or experienced gun enthusiast. Loaded up with Hornady Critical Duty .38 special and we are in business. People knock the whole 5 shots thing , but most gun fights are 2-4 rounds. I trust my life with it as a current LEO if / when it comes time to go to the ankle on or off duty.

Shipped out promptly. SOS continues to be a great vendor. Cant argue with good prices and free shipping. New no-lock 442 - not much to add here Centennials and Airweights have been produced since the 1950s, except firearm arrived in as-expected factory-new condition.

I own this as well as the 642. One of my favorite carry guns. Smith and Wesson always makes nice revolvers and this is no exception. Heavier trigger than my Ruger LCR in .357 but just as good, only different. Smooths out greatly after a while and can be staged perfectly with practice.

My first SOSS purchase... great service, great price $337 shipped this is a dependable light weight cc handgun I use Hornady FTX Critical Defense 38 +p ammo

Very happy with this purchase. Before shooting turn the gun upside down and apply a couple drops of lube on either side of the trigger and let the lube drain down as the gun is delivered rather dry. Also, practice staging the trigger and you will be pleasantly surprised at the accuracy of this revolver.
