I know I've shared this one before. I have given up trying to learn any more about it. Every lead is a dead end. This was my dads. No clue where it came from or how my dad ended up with it. I don't think it's ever been fired other than the factory test. For those of you who still have a dad among us, don't waste a moment. Their knowledge and experience can never be retrieved once they are gone and you are left with nothing but regret.View attachment 932443 View attachment 932444

Picked up this one a few months back. It’s like new in the box. The guy at work offered to sell it to me for $350 around 8am. I didn’t need it so I said no thanks.
Around 2pm he offered to sell it to me for $300. I really didn’t need it, or want it so, I told him I would give him $250. He said no thanks.
Around 6pm he called me and told me if I had the $250 in the morning, I could have it. Well I bought it but haven’t shot it yet.
S&W 442-1 Airweight.

The angle of the picture makes the barrel look 20"s long :D

Nice revolver! Have you shot any 45 colt in it? @MaxP said that there is a lot of cylinder jump. Just curious?
Safe shooting!!!

Haha, yeah I like this angle. Barrel is the standard 8.4" btw.

As far as shooting .45 out of it...I have not and don't plan on it. Same with shooting .454 out of it. I've heard too many stories about the carbon ring build up, plus this gun with max-book-loads, is about as docile as they come. It's a heavy revolver and with the factory brake, doesn't kick much at all.

And I agree with Max on this about cylinder jump. Long way to travel from brass to forcing cone, leaving the chance of inconsistent powder burn rates, which in turn affects accuracy. Well, that's my belief anyway.

Thanks for asking!

Love that one.

I still say its neither nickel or chrome, theres something about the luster that screams silver plating to me. In any event, its a beautiful revolver.
