After a lifetime of trying different types of J Frames, settled on a 442 about 20 years ago.
Best choice for me, no hammer to catch on pocket, Airweight to carry, serves me well as a BUG to a strong side G19, or my Sig226.
Mine isn't +P rated, so ammo is standard rated HP. I've carried +P a few times, even shot a few, but prefer back to standard.
Always dependable, carried often. Shot less than my K Frame M10(4 in bbl/ Tapered).
Good luck on your choice.
My wife loves her hammerless revolver with a crimson trace laser, she feels the hammer is one less thing to worry about. She says in the moment she wants to keep things simple , aim and shoot.
