New Member From Rural Missouri

[shovelmike]

Greetings everyone!:
I am new to Smith and Wesson ownership, but not to handguns and rifles.
I was raised around father and grandfather's rifles, shotguns, and revolvers from a toddler (now age 69, and starting to toddle again LOL). Bought semi-auto pistols a year ago as I saw our country descending into ever more chaos...no offense to S&W offerings...I bought Caniks, great pistols priced fairly.
I got the itch for a revolver more useful for defense, as the one I inherited from dad was .22.
I had fired my son's Taurus 856 ultra-lite, decided upon S&W 442 airweight.
I am hoping to gain some additional info on Smith and Wesson.
Thanks, have a blessed day.

Thanks for the replies. I spent my first 11 years in Springfield, MO. Grew up enjoying the creeks, rivers , and lakes in the beautiful Ozarks.
Now reside about 25 miles South of Kansas City.
