Default The perfect pair? 442 backs up my 539

I like my 539 a lot.

I just got this new 442, and I think it goes well with one.

I cannot get over how light weight this revolver is. It's my first alloy revolver, being used to carrying all steel guns.

Anyone else like the air weight 442?

Nice guns. Thanks for the pic. The 442 always seemed to be the perfect J-frame to me. It's not a lot of fun to shoot but you can shoot it enough to stay competent without suffering too much. It's an ideal compromise of power, lightweight, reliability, and reasonable price. Great little revolver.

My 442 is and has been my main carry gun. But I do really like your 539!

The regulars knew I was going to show up. The 442 is my favorite. One is always in my pocket lots of times another one is in the waistband.

I have a 640 and a 337PD..... both are great "little" guns; I prefer to shoot the 640 and carry the 337PD.. .....very very rarely feel the need to carry two guns...not saying it's a bad idea/ to each there own on that matter.......I just up gun from a 39xx to a 69xx/915 if I feel the need for more ammo.
