[QUOTE="Engineman1960, post: 3135221, member: 9220"] I went round and round to find the right grips for my 442, that felt good for me, I went somewhat old school; Found a set of Pachmyar Compac's without the Pachmyar metal logo -- larger than the boot grip, a little thicker also, the rubber works for me, my hands sweat a lot during the summer. The out of the box trigger on the Ruger .38 LCR ( don't own the .357 magnum) one of the best, I have ever shot -- the .22lr LCR trigger is NOT very desirable -- practice !!!. As I get older, I'm a little more (a lot more) sensitive to recoil. I have a S&W model 64 with 3 inch barrel, that is excellent to shoot, buts its seems to weight as much as a boat anchor. I am on my third j frame, 2 -- 642 and this 442, was trying to find the right grip combination; lock vs no-lock; black vs silver finish; even had the 642 with the Crimson Trace laser. I didn't have the patients to work these decisions before I bought and sold. My 442 is still a blast to shoot !! How can you be a Smith & Wesson revolver guy without a "J" frame -- Its like being a 1911 guy without a Colt !! Good luck on your S&W 442 !! [/QUOTE]
