Hey yall,
Like the title says I'm considering a j frame, primarily a 442 or 642. I carry a 9mm shield IWB 95% of the time (1911 5% of the time) and want something I can pocket carry in a few situations. I thought about a .380 but don't really want to add another caliber (I have a ruger new model Blackhawk convertible 9mm/38/357).
I'm looking for overall thoughts on the 442/642, recoil compared to a 9mm shield (I understand ammo choice makes a huge impact here), and concealed carry ease.
Thanks in advance.
