Smith & Wesson Performance Center Pro Series 442 .38 Special Blue J-Frame Revolver

A: Yes you do the cylinders Cut for Moon Clips

A: The cylinder for this particular model is cut for moon clips for speed of load/unload but the pistol will fire with out them. (The newest 442 is equipped with a cylinder designed to use moon clips for increased speed and efficiency in loading. The use of moon clips requires additional machining on the face of the cylinder to accommodate the width of the metal clips. While this is an attractive feature for those shooters who prefer moon clips, the modifications do not affect the ability to load the revolver in more traditional ways—like using dump pouches, speed strips, single round load, or speed loaders).

A: John, yes Sir. The 442 Pro is +P Rated by Smith and Wesson.

A: Ortis - per the S&W web site the full name of this model is "Performance Center® Pro Series® Model 442 Moon Clip" .. so yes, it is a Performance Center revolver. Aside from the smoother action and better trigger, this one takes moon clips, which allow much faster re-loads without fumbling with a 'speed loader'.

A: Ortis, no Sir. The Pro Series completes the line between main production and the Performance Center Series of Pistols (In between). Smith & Wesson Pro Series represents the next step from standard models. These firearms are offered with a variety of enhancements yet still remain true to "stock." Bringing competition specifications and features to factory models, the Pro Series offer that ready-to-go package while still maintaining production line integrity.
