The Good and the Baaad!


Recommended Posts

The Good: bought a 442 for my first conceal- a little heavy, but hides fairly well in my front pocket. Shot it for the first time tonight- great little shooter for close-up work; it was also the first snubbie I've ever shot- work the wrist pretty good shootin' five with one hand.

The Baaad: Without thinking *I hopped in my jeep and went over to a fella's property which is out of the city limits. Oooh, no ear protection. Ah, it'll only hurt a little. Dang! I shoulda stopped at 5. I did 15. Never again.

That's ok. I went home and hurt myself (not literally- just very sore) emptying the sand out of the base of my son's basketball hoop. Dude, I forgot about my ears for a while.

I like the gun; probably need better grips-feel too small in my hands maybe.

One thing is for sure- if shot up close, someone is going down with this round.

*FYI, I did this before shooting the gun.

The 442 in my opinion is the perfect close-quarters pocket gun. Easily concealed in the pocket and 5 rounds of .38 Special ain't nothin to sneeze at.

In the past few years, I have have become especially enamored of the snub nosed 38. I like the 442, and carried a 637 for awhile, but now, if I carry a snub its my LCR with Hogue boot grips and the XS front sight. I still find myself carrying my LCP most of the time, but my LCR is always in my truck.

Gotta love snub nosed, 5 shot 38's!!!
