Here is my vote. Hands down my favorite J Frame. It is a Black finished 642 (yep not 442). 642 Pro Series Power-Port.
As you can see there is a dovetail cut into the barrel for the front sight. I put a Trijicon night sight in there. The barrel appears a little longer because it has a port cut into the top in front of the sight. It has a full length ejector rod (which is a very nice feature for positive extraction, the short rods do NOT do a good job). Full lug. It has a beautiful black finish and zero white filled markings (no trade mark or airweight insignias). It is the same weight as any airweight (15 ozs). And looks awesome.
Smith did a very small run of these a couple of years ago. I picked this up new in the box on GB for $420 2 years ago. They pop up every once in a while.
Recoil is noticeably tamer thanks to the port.
It conceals just as easy as any of my J Frames.
Best looking, best shooting/handling short barreled J Frame made in my opinion. I also own and carry a 442 and a 360PD.
