My 442 no-lock has been my EDC for years. I carry it in an Uncle Mike's #4 holster in pocket or waistband and it still looks like new. I wipe it down with a silicon cloth once in a while and clean it every time I shoot it. I've seen many used 642's where the "clear coat" finish on the alloy frame has worn and peeled.
