s&w 442 with internal lock vs. s&w 442 no internal lock

Alright, I really appreciate the advice. I think the moon version of the 442 is the same as the 642 models. Does that look the same for you? I like the black vs the silver, thats why i am asking.

The moon one is cut for moon clips, which would be a really nice feature for quicker reloads. Not all x42 models have that feature. Overall the 642 and 442 are identical except for stainless vs blued.

Awesome thanks I've never seen moon clips before. Only the speed loaders. It's a cool concept. Ill take your advice and get a 642, now wood or rubber grip is the question. Appreciate all the knowledge and advice.

I bought the Talo edition (wood grip) and I like it. If you would use it as a pocket carry gun it could be harder to pull out of the pocket if it has a rubber grip. You get used to the snappy recoil with the wood grips, just takes a few hundred rounds and some tweaking of your grip.
Platte River Jack:
The S&W 442 is a great choice. I've been carrying one without the ILS for over three years without any rust issues. (Being a reactionary I don't want any lawyers involved in the guns I purchase). I had Ted Adomovich make custom wood grips and currently carry in a Galco pocket holster or Milt Sparks summer special.
