I have a S&W 442. It is a hammerless, snub nose .38. I can't say I would recommend it. Like all revolvers it is fat, and the fact that it does not have a hammer on the back drastically limits your hosltering options. I don't carry much, so I doubt I will upgrade, but I do have to pick my wardrobe carefully when I want to carry.
EDIT: I see JYL and I have rather different views of our gun!
