My other J Frames bloody my right thumb after about 150 rounds and I usually keep going for another 50 to 100 rounds. The BG38 felt recoil is slightly lighter than with other light weight J Frames and it does not tear up the thumb due to the location of the cylinder release. It will callous your hand though.
I would borrow or rent a BG38 and fire it before replacing a 442. The 442 is a fine revolver.
