So I bought the .38 J-frame...

[Navin Johnson]

S&W M&P 340. I would have bought a .38 if S&W offered one with the Big Dot front sight, but the .357 was the only option. I went back and forth since the price difference between the 442 and the 340 is substantial, but the sight and the lack of internal lock is worth the extra money to me.

CT laser grips and target wad cutters. The boutique wadcutters have more recoil than the plus P spear and Winchester loads. The whole reason for using a wadcutter is because of the shoot ability of it especially in a 12 ounce Revo

It’s boring, but you need to go to the range or wherever and actually shoot it.

Some shooting gloves can help if recoil is an issue with your hand

Mine's set up the same way. Speed loaders with Critical Defense as loading wadcutters is a pain. With my 432 J frame, the wadcutters just wiggle so much as to make a speed loader reload very slow.

I might be part of the minority but I can't stand my Aholsters for the 442 and LCR. They print like casino signs regardless of what I'm wearing. The DSG Apollo and a Mika pocket holster are my go-to accessories, with honorable mention to the PHLster City Special.

D&L sports has a sight package for the jframe. Im surprised they are not mentioned here more often. They are better than anything S&W puts on a J frame by far. Personally Id rather get a no lock 442 and put the D&L sights on it than pay the extra for a 357 scandium J frame with sights that are still sub optimal.

iDK, I like the ones that come on the 640 pro. I wish it came in all black rear with some Ameriglo daygo fronts.

Smith could stand to step up their sight game, I just biught an ameriglo tritium front for like 25 bucks from Taurus.

I considered buying one for my 856 Toro but decided what's the point since it will have a RDS? I am considering sending a pair of 442's to D&L for their upgraded sights.

They won't do them. Only J's with pinned front sights.

Since when? I spoke to him recently about a 442 and not one word was said about that.

He would prefer to do it on a Scandium Gun, he told me he didnt think a 442 was worth spending the money on, but he would do it.

Good to know, I hadn’t reached out yet. That’s a shame but understandable.

As long as he's done them unless something changed in the last year.
