first of all both are now available with or with out the internal lock, check smiths website for proper sku number. as far as the finish the 642 is the way to go especially if your going to use a holster. the 442 has a matte black finish which does not hold up well at all. i have a 351pd and a 327 nightguard with the matte black finish and it scratches or chips very easily.
