Smith & Wesson Performance Center 442 38 Special +P 5rd 1.88"

The Smith & Wesson Performance Center Model 442 delivers concealed carry performance with enhanced precision features and integrated laser sighting. This lightweight revolver combines the reliability of the classic J-frame platform with Performance Center upgrades that elevate accuracy and handling beyond standard production models.

What Makes This Different

The Performance Center treatment transforms the standard Model 442 through precision tuning and enhanced components. The black fluted cylinder reduces weight while maintaining structural integrity, and the matte black aluminum frame provides corrosion resistance with reduced carry weight. The integrated Crimson Trace Lasergrip replaces standard grips with instinctive activation laser sighting, eliminating the need for separate accessories.

Key Features

• Crimson Trace Lasergrip with instinctive activation for rapid target acquisition
• Black stainless steel 1.88" barrel with enhanced rifling for improved accuracy
• Fluted cylinder design reduces weight while maintaining 38 Special +P capability
• Matte black aluminum frame construction for corrosion resistance
• 5-round capacity with moon clip compatibility for faster reloads
• Double-action-only trigger system eliminates external hammer snag points
• Standard J-frame dimensions fit existing holster systems

The 442 Performance Center handles +P ammunition reliably, extending effective range and terminal performance over standard pressure loads. The integrated laser system provides precise shot placement in low-light conditions and stress situations where traditional sight alignment proves challenging. Weather-sealed construction maintains functionality in adverse conditions, while the lightweight aluminum frame reduces carry fatigue during extended use.
