Sure is a great deal. IMHO thses are GTG right as is , if the manufacturing quality is correct, which a crap shoot on S&W these days. However S&W has the best warranty service there is IMHO.Not that I’m a fan of “big box” gun stores, but CDNN has a pretty good deal on the S&W 442 right now. Even with a transfer fee, it looks pretty hard to beat.

and what I use, although really not that much better than what it came with,Pachmayr Compac Professional. It's:
1) small and smooth enough to pocket
2) as textured and cushy as possible given 1)
The OE S&W grips will delaminate apart into a revolting sticky mess in a glove box over a summer. . . which is why I started shopping. They were great until them.and what I use, although really not that much better than what it came with,
wow ! I did replace them with Pachmayr Professional Compacts a few years ago. The 442 stays in a holster with speed loader and a pox of +p ammo in the truck vault hidden below console with a .40 CZ Compact in a shoulder rig with 2 extra 10 round mags and a box of ammo. . Surefire flashlight , survival knife and $$$ . and extra keys (it is combo safe) .The OE S&W grips will delaminate apart into a revolting sticky mess in a glove box over a summer. . . which is why I started shopping.

You live in Oregon, I live in South Carolina. All sorts of stuff dies of sunburn and humidity here. . . but on the bright side our cars don't rust!The 442 stays in a holster with speed loader and a pox of +p ammo in the truck vault. . .
