[QUOTE="DaveTN, post: 5266807, member: 3052"] The difference is finish, and material the 442 is Lightweight alloy frame, Stainless steel barrel, Carbon steel cylinder. The 642 is Lightweight alloy frame, Stainless steel barrel and cylinder. They are both .38 only. Both have an internal hammer, the are double action only. The Model 60 is all stainless steel, it has an exposed hammer and weighs more. It's 38/357. More weight is very desirable in any S&W J-frame (Model 60 Stainless, Model 36 Steel). These aren't range guns, they are belly guns and are not fun to shoot. I'm not saying that's a bad thing; that's their application. They are the most sought after small revolvers on earth. I would not want a hammerless revolver, but that's just my personal preference. But I would want the most weight I could get in a J-frame. Most are .38, the Model 60 is also .357Mag, she, or you, won't want to shoot .357mag in it, but it makes it much more desirable if you decide to sell it. [/QUOTE]
