I think that the 442 / 642 lineup is among Smith's best offerings. They are practical, reliable, light, concealable, etc.

I am sort of a dork for the 442/642 guns and have quite a few, including many of the "no dash" varieties, 442 in matte nickel, clear anodized 642, etc. In fact, carried a "no dash" shiny 642 all day in a Wilderness Tactical Renegade ankle holster.
