Awsome! Congrats! Those 442's and 642's sure are great!
Good purchase.
Know what - if Smith stopped making everything but the snubs - they'd still have excellent sales, enough to survive! Must be the best selling line ever.
Welcome to the club! I absolutely enjoy the 442. Between that and my G19, all others now are range and safe queens!
Congrats on the new Smith. I have found that my 642 goes everywhere I go, even if I'm carrying a larger gun. The 442/642 in a pocket holster is by far the most comfortable way to carry a firearm.
Have fun with your new toy!

Very nice! I'm saving up for a 340. How do you like it so far? Have you shot it yet? How do you plan on carrying it?

Congrats everyone needs a snubbie
Congrats on making a fine choice.
My 442 is my 24/7 EDC as a BUG Off-Duty.
I love the little blaster. Not much to go wrong is how I look at it. It rides great on the ankle or in the support side pocket with a round that can pack enough of a "punch" if you place them where they belong.
Biker :tumbleweed:
I'm sorry to say that I have not yet got to shoot it. I literally picked it up over lunch today. You can be assured that I'll work it out this weekend, though. I plan on hitting the range first thing tomorrow morning.Quote:

Congrats....love my 642 as well!!!:congrats:
Now you need a Mika pocket holster
When you go from a medium framed semi to a J-frame, the difference is amazing. You actually can wear whatever you want and be comfortabe carrying. It's so easy to forget its there, as opposed to a semi poking at you. Congrats on buying the 442, I just bought one not to long ago and am amazed at its accuracy.
I am saving up for the 442 or 642. What is the best price folks have seen them for? I also have to decide which one it is that I want to purchase.
I'm thinking appendix carry for when I get mine - I'd like to get a Seecamp for pocket carry and I think that would be much more comfortable than a revolver. I'll probably get some cheap mass produced holster and see how I like it to start off. Enjoy!

Nice !
The MSRP on it is over $529, but you can expect to pay (for a new one) around $430. The big chains (Bass Pro and Cabela's) are a little more expensive and the single-owner shops are a little less (I buy from a single-owner - I know his name and he knows mine). You can get a used one (good condition) for between $300 and $340.Quote:
