Don't spend your money...
Don't spend your money on this trash. My point of impact for all loads is between 7-9" high at 5 yards! At 10 yards you'd have to aim at the crotch to hit center mass. I just had it returned for repairs from S&W and what would you know, exact same high point of impact. The finish is already wearing off the cylinder, and all the shells have to be pulled out by hand after pushing down on the ejector.

I'm really impressed...
I'm really impressed with the Smith & Wesson J-Frame 442UC. The upgraded sights are awesome, making aiming so much easier. The beveled cylinders make reloading with a speedloader super smooth, and it's perfect for wadcutter ammunition. The grips feel great, and you can tell a lot of thought went into this build. It's a truly exciting addition to the snub-nose lineup from Smith & Wesson. If you're looking for a reliable, well-designed revolver, this one's definitely worth checking out!

This is a great little...
This is a great little revolver. The sights are fantastic, the action is smooth (for a current production J-frame anyway), and it shoots point of aim with 135 grain +P Gold Dot. The grips are excellent, a real improvement over usual J-frame grips and they look fantastic. The gun is well thought out, highly recommended. I also recommend the pocket holster being sold by the guys at American Fighting Revolver. It is designed specifically for the UC and works very well. Also highly recommended!
