Great buy. Challenging little gun for your first... well, maybe you already own another snubbie, but the 442/642 can be... interesting to shoot with the stock grips depending on your hand size and tolerance to (ahem) felt recoil. Definitely not a range gun for moi, maybe a cylinder or three at a time. YMMV
But great to carry.
Please do give a range report after your inaugural outing and tell us what your thoughts and shooting results are. You'll see why some board members scoff when gunshop sales staff steer petite shoppers who "never shot a gun in my life but I want one now" that direction.
For S&W #2, look for a K frame maybe?
