The long, manly trigger pull is part of what makes the 442 in my pocket safe.
That's also what makes them suck at distance and against multiple targets, aside from being slow in those applications. People like Mackay_Sagebrush and Jerry Miculek do fine because they shoot them a lot.
P.S. I have interacted with a gentleman who shot himself in the thigh pulling a J frame out of his pocket under what he considered to be life threatening conditions. No one was injured but him.
