Smith & Wesson 442UC Ultimate Carry .38 Special Revolver 1.875" Barrel - Cherry VZ Grips

The Smith & Wesson 442 UC (Ultimate Carry) takes the proven 442 platform and elevates it with premium enhancements designed specifically for concealed carry. Built around a double‑action‑only system, the 442 UC delivers smooth, consistent trigger pulls while eliminating the snag risk of an exposed hammer—making it exceptionally well‑suited for pocket, ankle, or deep‑concealment carry.

Equipped with XS front night sights and a black U‑notch rear, this revolver offers rapid sight acquisition and dependable visibility in low‑light environments. The standout VZ Black Cherry G10 UC High‑Horn grips provide an aggressive texture and improved contouring, giving shooters superior control and recoil management in a compact package.

Engineered with thoughtful refinements—titanium pins, beveled cylinder edges, chamfered charge holes, and an enhanced trigger—the 442 UC is optimized for smooth reloads, snag‑free draws, and reliable performance under stress.
