I'll jump in only to dissuade people from considering a a polymer revolver like the SW Bodyguard or Ruger LCR. I owned a Bodyguard and just couldn't like it. The best use I made of it is dry firing it a lot. Objectively, it was a tad bigger than a regular J-frame which meant some holsters didn't work and the grip frame wanted to peek out of my pocket when pocket carrying in pants. Subjectively, it simply had no soul. While I have not owned an LCR, I suspect that they too have no soul.

It sounds to me like the 442 Pro gives you lots of options.
