Smith & Wesson has expanded its dog faithful J-Frame revolver line, introducing the Performance Center Model 442 with Crimson Trace LG-105 Lasergrips. The five-round .38 Special’s laser sight is as intuitive as can be, activating with normal grip pressure and providing fast target acquisition in low-light situations. This is the second 442 to make its appearance in the Performance Center and comes with everything you’d expect out of a pro-level revolver, including lightweight aluminum alloy frame, 1.875-inch stainless steel barrel, carbon steel cylinder, enclosed hammer and +P rating. It’s also a bit of a looker, given its two-tone finish. The MSRP of the Performance Center Model 442 with Crimson Trace LG-105 Lasergrips is $742.
