Default New no lock 442s

I just got back from my local pusher, he hit me for my monthly allowance. However he has 2 new no lock 442s for those that may be interested. They are $469.00. These are great guys to deal with and I'm sure he would ship if buyer pays shipping.

The store is CroBar Public Safety Supply. They are great guys to deal with, Taylor is the owner or his sidekick Justin. Murphy, Taylor's wiemeriner (SP?) will normally greet you at the door.

Cheers,
Sam

The 442 is an excellent lightweight J frame. Plus I prefer the blue / black finish as I carry mine in my front pocket, nearly all the time. Sometimes, the pocket rides up as you sit and if somebody sitting to your angle sees the corner of the butt in you pocket, being black in color will trick the other person as to something not a gun, maybe a cell phone or pager and so on.

500-I carry the Hornady 110+P Critical Defense in mine. Think that is a good selection? I used to use the new 125 Nyclad, non +P.

I'm not an ammo expert. I've read the ole FBI load 158 gn lead is a excellent choice. If your afraid of HP ammo not expanding drop to the next lighter bullet.

I currently carry the 129gn hydra shok. With that said these burn clean and recoil is not excessive so I can control the little gun. However, it may not expand so keep that in mind.

I'd feel your carry loads should expand well out of a 2 inch barrel. They should be a good choice.
