First time with my 38. I was rather impressed. The spent shells did not eject like I wanted to, but we will see what happens with that later on. The recoil was strong , yet not overwhelming. While aiming for the direct center of the target my shots ended up in the heart area automatically. I'm very happy with that. Simply just aim for the center of my target and the rest will fall into place. My range was a close 21 feet , give or take. Very happy with the 442 today.
