It's not a J frame but I carried a 2nd. model Colt Cobra for a while but thought I'd try a 9mm. Shield for the added fire power. The Shield is a fine pistol but at 6' 3" and around 300 lbs. the Cobra doesn't dig into the ole gut when I sit down like the Shield does so it's back to the Cobra. I carry a cylinder full of 125 gr. 38 Nyclads with a speed loader full handy.

The Shield does have one FTF out of about 400 rounds where as the little Cobra has had a few more through it and has always gone bang.
