    Only if you can keep them both in YOUR safe.

    I hate to see couples fighting. The only thing I see to make this deal end right is to give them both to me - I'll let you two come over to visit them once in a while.

    for

    her basically brand new S&W 442 .38spl +P Pro series with crimson trace laser plus from the factory set up for moonclips (yeah, it's cool)

    http://www.smith-wesson.com/webapp/w...layErrorView_Y




    They are both pretty cool and prices (with lasers) are relatively similar although the p238 with laser cost more. the P238 shoots REALLY NICE but the damn thing is too big to fit in this fat man's pocket. Plus, NOBODY makes a damn holster for the 238 with a laser (and yes, i could get one made, no big deal). The 442 is neatobandito and really light and of course fits anywhere.

    What say ye?

    Man I hate smith, and I (wife) owns a sig p238. Its too good of a gune to trade for a smith. Besides you can get some "Mazinbrand" Grips for it and really make it pop. I have a set of Purpleheart wood with a gloss finish that would look awesome with that slide.

    funny enough we asked that same question at the gunshop yesterday and the guy said
    a. he can't keep the rainbows in stock (they don't even hit the shelf) and
    b. they have all been bought by guys.

    I'd also go with the Smith, and I'm not even a revolver fan... I'm not a .380 fan, either- so it kinda is a wash in that regard.

    the P238 is just too pretty to be a carry piece, and it sounds like you already think the 442 is better for CCW.

    but ask her what she'll do to sweeten the deal

    Mrs Byte carries a p238


    I Swear if I didn't look like a fruit carrying it I would steal it from her.

    with the extended finger magazine, it fits "nice", it honestly could be better.
    but for the size/weight trade its great.

    I've thought about one of these...
