I think that I carry j Frames because I feel safe with one. I know that it's reliable. I t conceals easily, pocket, iwb, apendix, ankle, belt. I have used all of these and still more untried yet. I have a bg 380, shield 9, MP9c &40c but J's just feel better, they may go with an semi but pretty much there will always be a J. Just picked up my new 60 today actually a 60LS. Just like the looks and feel of it. Had the Hammer bobbed and polished along with the hammer and internals. Its smooth and looks great. 38+p or 357 for carry, 38 specand 357 for practice. It just feels better for me than carrying a semi. Had a XDs 45 ordered when they came out. When it came in Icanceded it, I didn't like the feel. This is my opinion and what works for me. Safe shooting everyone
