Hello From S&W Snubbie Owner From Michigan
Greetings, all!
I am a guy from Michigan who has owned a S&W 442 since October of 2008, and have CCW'd back and forth between it and my Glock 23. Only recently, I have decided to carry the 442 as my primary defensive handgun, in the appendix IWB fashion instead of in a front pocket holster like I used to. It seemed that I was taking it out with me more often both on trips and daily outings than my G23, since it is easier to gear up with and it hides better in summer clothing.
I've decided to join up here, since I just bought a new Talon appendix carry holster, Quickstrip speed strips, and Crimson Trace laser grips in the past couple of months, and I practice drills and carry concealed every day.
It took me almost seven years to admit that I prefer my S&W snubbie to my Glock for everyday carry!
Nice to meet all of you!

I was between CCW'd and CCWing (as in "I have been CCWing"), but wasn't sure which one was more grammarly. ;-)

Why not just concealed carrying?

Welcome from the eastern panhandle of West Virginia.
My 442 goes with me everywhere I go. Usually on my belt but sometimes it rides in my pocket.

Great set-up, snubbyfan! I see that you are a leather craftsman. Did you make those holsters yourself? Very nice. What kind of laser sight is that, mounted on the side? I see that your laser is mounted independent of your grips and looks like it is after market.

It's a Laserlyte side mount laser. I liked the Pachmayr Compact grips and that was the only way to add a laser without changing the grips. It's an excellent aid when doing dry fire practice.
