Description
This Smith & Wesson Model 442 takes the classic J-frame carry revolver and dresses it up with a factory-engraved finish that really stands out. The matte black frame and cylinder are adorned with scrollwork on both sides and around the flutes, giving it a high-end look while still being a rugged defensive tool. Paired with upgraded checkered wood grips featuring matching scroll accents, it has the feel of a presentation gun that’s still perfectly at home in a holster.
Chambered in .38 Special +P, the 442 is built on S&W’s lightweight J-frame and sports a 1⅞" barrel for easy concealment. The enclosed hammer design provides a snag-free draw from pockets or concealment rigs, and the double-action-only trigger keeps operation simple under stress. Despite its compact profile, the wood grips offer a solid purchase and help manage recoil from defensive loads.
If you like the idea of a practical everyday carry revolver but want something with more personality than a plain black snub, this factory-engraved 442 is a perfect fit—combining reliability, concealability, and display-case looks in one package.
