[FIREARM REVIEW] Smith & Wesson 442 Revolver
I am always amazed at how many people carry their CCW gun in their front pocket. When people watch my videos on a subcompact gun, a question often asked is, “how is that gun for pocket carry”? Maybe it’s just because I’m a behind the hip holster guy but I am taken back by how many people carry like this. I am not saying it is wrong, I am simply making the point that millions of Americans carry a gun in their pocket.
A snub nose revolver is a very popular choice. The Smith & Wesson 442 “Airweight” is often referred as one of the best Jframe revolvers for pocket carry. It is extremely light at 15 ounces, has an internal hammer making it snag free, the barrel is only 1.875” and the heavy double action trigger pull provides “somewhat” of a safety to prevent accidental discharges. Given all of this information, I had to give it a try and carry it in the front pocket and I have to admit the S&W 442 Airweight was quite nice.
