    How does the finish hold up on 442?

    Now that I've traded my 60 in, I'm curious to know how the anodized finish holds up. My old 36 showed bluing wear on the backstrap after a few years.....is anodized better?

    weight difference between 442 and 60

    I'm trying to get an exact difference in weight between my old model 60 and my new, but not here yet, 442. The catalog no longer lists the 60 but it has the 36 at 20 ounces. It lists the 442 at 15 ounces and I've seen it listed at 14.5 in other places. I'm thinking the uncle mike's boot grips...

    j-frame hideout grips

    as much as I like the grips many of you recommended, I found them a bit slippery, much like wood...but for a solution I took some light sandpaper to the right grip panel (left the left alone since it is against my skin) and gave it a bit of a roughout finish,,,now they are perfect.....no more...

    If you could be a gun?

    If you could be one handgun, what would it be and would you change anything about yourself (finish, grips, trigger pull). I had to ask that question because after some of the awe inspiring polls and theoretical questions, I felt it was time to join the ranks of the moronic...that being said...

    airweight or titanium

    I'm thinking of retiring my model 60 for something lighter. I'm torn between an airweight and a titanium. I'm only allowed to carry a smith in the lasd so no political debate please. I love the 342 but it feels like a toy, while the airweight feels right but it would be nice to have the...
