The Model 442 is built upon the Smith & Wesson "J-Frame". This revolver was part of the "Centennial" line of revolvers that were introduced in 1952 to mark the 100 year anniversary of Smith & Wesson (though this particular model was not introduced until 1990). Because of its place in the Centennial line, this gun is also known as the "S&W Model 442 Centennial". Recently, Smith & Wesson dropped the centennial line (their centennial was over 50 years ago), but continues to produce this gun as simply the Model 442.
The gun was constructed entirely of stainless steel until 1995 when it was switched to aluminum and designated "airweight". For this reason, the gun is also sometimes referred to as the "S&W Model 442 Airweight".
