New 442

warrconn · Jan 22, 2011

I just picked it up today and couldn't be happier. Great trigger right out of the box. Not gritty, great pull. Did about 200 dry-fires with snap caps. I really think this is one that won't need 1,000 dry fires to smooth out the trigger. This is my first NIB.

Congrats, great gun. I have an older satin nickle model that goes w/me most days.

Nice buy! Interesting, I bought a no lock 442 last year and it also has a good DA trigger pull right out of the box too.

Mine was used (barely), but, also had an excellent trigger... shoots great too!

I picked up a 642 today NIB, I'm really impressed with the trigger also. I did oil it and do about 300 dry fires throughout the day, but it was great right out of the box.

Nice buy, I like mine so far, just picked up a 638, silver with the short hammer and put 100 rounds through it. after reading Dragons post, I decided to take the side cover off and see what to oil.. that was my first time in one of these... opps, some little lever showed up on the mat... I figured it out and decided to just put it back together for tonite...

The hammer block? It comes out easily but goes back in easily if you know how it sits. I removed the grips and cylinder assembly, but saw no need to pop the side plate. I sprayed plenty of oil in there and it was oozing out while drying firing. Should be evenly distributed now.
