442 Custom Shop .38 Spc. was second S & W .38 revolver purchased from Bud's. Order shipped and was received @ local FFL dealer promptly.

Works well. Good price. Fast delivery. Good "pocket carry".

A light weight and super carry 38 revolver. Shot about 200 rounds through it. Being that its light weight expect recoil when shooting. But the gun and Buds are great.

I was not happy with this handgun. It is wildly inaccurate, printing 8" to 10" groups from 7 yards, all over the target. Absolutely no consistency, using lightweight wadcutters up to P 125 gr JHP's, all factory ammo. It might be good for contact distance, but no further. Very disappointing for a S&W PC tuned revolver. The "hip grip" was the first thing to go. It prevents proper indexing and gets in the way of a proper hold, at least for me. All shooting was done with the replacement Uncle Mike's grip. I have been shooting handguns since I was 11 years old (now 56), and have qualified as expert during a long law enforcement career, so I'm fairly certain the inaccuracy listed above was not me. As usual, the service at Bud's was top notch. No complaints there.

Great little snubby. Exactly what I wanted out of a small, lightweight carry revolver. Fantastic looking firearm and even better to shoot. You can tell this piece is from S&W performance center as the trigger is very smooth and the polished steel feels great against your finger. Put some altamont grips on her and turned her into a real beauty! First time ordering from buds and it really was a breeze.

Gun looks great (and even better with some Altamont grips)! Quick and painless transaction with Buds. Would buy through them again for sure. Can't wait to take this little wheel gun to the range!

This is a great looking gun. I was looking for a small J-frame to carry in place of my little .380 LCP that I used to carry on warm days. I feel more confident in .38 +p, so I decided to make the change. This gun is so light it's easy to forget you have it in your waistband. It comes with a Desantis clip grip. I don't feel confident relying on the clip grip alone, so I carry it in a Galco IWB holster. I will be changing the grip out with a nice wood grip soon. The trigger is great. This gun has a very smooth double-action trigger. It's long enough to safely pocket carry, but smooth enough to place rounds on your target. I had a great time at the local indoor range with this gun and I quickly became accustomed to the trigger pull. I was very pleased with the service I received from Bud's. I ordered the gun on a Tuesday morning, and it was in my hands on Thursday afternoon. Very fast shipping! The price was great too, especially considering the fact that I couldn't find this particular edition of the 442 for sale anywhere else at the time.

Great little pistol. Nice smooth trigger on mine, locks up tight, and shoots great. Plus it's the best looking S&W Airweight in my opinion. First time ordering from Bud's but won't be last. Great service and great price.

The action is superb in this little revolver. It is also very light. I cannot tell a different in weight between this and my Bodyguard. That being said the cylinder does not release easily from the frame, and seems to drag a bit when being opened. I will write S&W and get their thoughts. Other than that, great pistol.
