i have this exact gun picked it up new at a gun show for 399

Good for you and your knowledge, and your willingness to share it.
-
i like how the camera slowly zooms in on the gun in the beginning
-
Just got one of these. The trigger pull SA and DA seems pretty stiff. I think someone without strong thumbs would have a problem pulling the hammer back.
+P's shoot great though.
-
I wish there where more videos on this revolver, I think it's one of the best ones.

Thanks for taking the time to do this video. Very helpful to those of us planning to buy.
Fun to watch the shootin' too!!

Great shooting

@mrez1991 I don't know what a -1 is , but the 442 is +P rated.

I prefer my Ruger LCR to the S&W, but I really like the shrouded hammer that S&W revolver has integrated into their revolver.
-
Do you know if the smith & wesson 38. special 442-1 is +p rated any help would be appreciated
That 438 is a "shrouded" hammer design, not "un-shrouded" as you indicated. The "hump" on the 438 IS the shroud, and is NOT designed to improve pocket retention (as you said). It's there to cover the hammer spur so it doesn't hang up on clothing. S&W make a regular "exposed" hammer model (example: S&W 637). They make "shrouded" hammer model (example: your 438). And a double-action-only "enclosed" hammer model (example: S&W 442).

Just shows that I don't know everything. I was merely citing information from research...from several reputable sources.

The audio on those shots is bordering on perfection.

I think shooting from the garage in the rain had something to do with that. The camera was setup in the garage, and the sound just rolled off those walls.
