I had a Model 442 and traded it for a Model 342PD Airlite. It is a little lighter than the 442 and is my daily carry piece. It does seem to shoot a little low but with practice I can get decent groups with it. Obviously the gun wasn't designed for casual target practice. I put a bandaid on the crotch of my thumb and index finger when I shoot it to prevent the top of the rubber grip from rubbing a blister. I carry standard pressure 125 grain Federal Nyclad loads in it in a Kramer horsehide pocket holster. My two cents.
