I'm going to keep the M43C in .22 lr, but the M442-1 will be hitting the road. Recoil is just a bit too stout for the 'arthur' in my hands. The all steel J's are at least tolerable to shoot.

Aluminum and steel have different thermal expansion rates. You may be onto something there, Rob.
I totally agree about the recoil issue with airweights. Problem is, the all steel versions are too heavy for pocket carry. And if you are going to waist carry, you might as well carry something something heavier and with a longer barrel. I'd pocket carry a Model 60 if it weighed 17 to 18 ounces.
