Can't say enough great things about the Smith & Wesson Model 442 (with no internal lock). It fits well in the hand, fires well, and is quite accurate right out of the box. This handgun is perfect for C&C and is perfect for pocket carry or IWB carry. The grips are great for absorbing the snappy recoil coming from the .38 SPL +P loads. I LOVE IT. This handgun is a permanent piece in my collection. I highly recommend purchasing one if you are able. Can't say enough good things about Bud's Guns as well. You guys have always delivered for me. Between ordering and shipping, I believe I had the handgun in three days max. Five stars for Smith & Wesson and five stars for Bud's Guns. Thanks guys.

No problems, as usual. Gun shipped to my FFL in perfect, brand new condition. Exactly what I wanted for a concealed carry weapon. I'm older, disabled now and can no longer handle a 10 mm, 45 or even my 9mm.
Buds online = no worry.

The S&W Airweight "Centennial" style are my favorite of the S&W family of J-frame revolvers for carry.
This certainly includes either the Model 442 or the Model 642... and my preference is for the "no lock" versions, 442-1 and 642-1, that S&W offers and Bud's sells.
No safety lever... no decocker lever... no ammo feeding issues... no unintentionally dropped magazines... just absolute reliability and dependability in a time proven small compact package!

A great purchase with Buds and very pleased with the S&W 442 .38 special. I have read a few comments about the trigger pull being excessive, but I took it to the range and it is fine for me. Similar to the Charter Arms .38's in many ways. The two finger grips take a bit of getting used to but you have good control and even with a couple of Plus P's it was easy to manage. You can feel the quality of this revolver. I appreciate the regular communication from Buds and if you use the best price approach with E Check then it will be a bit longer than a week for delivery which was fine with me. I checked with prices in our area and no one compared with Buds on the deal.

Rock solid transaction, rock solid revolver. Total Smith & Wesson and Ruger fan. Very pleased with this snub. My first DAO revolver (I usually go with a DA/SA version). Smooth trigger.
Just clean your revolver when you first get it, take it to the range to insure functionality and you should be all set.
