i have personally owned both, and carried both in a pocket holster. my 442-1 wins for me. even though the 42 is slim, i found it more difficult to draw from the pocket. the rear of the slide would hang up inside my pokets. the rounded profile of any centennial j frame seems to work better for me. i have larger hands, and found the hogue g-10 grip is the best grip for me.
