And, for good measure, the ergonomic differences make it easier to shoot well. Very few people will ever wring out the last bit of accuracy of any given handgun to the extent that it might matter, especially for defensive use. To that extent, the J frame is as capable of accuracy as the K/L/N in terms of the mechanical construction of the revolver. The sights, trigger pull, and small size of the J frame when holding it against the trigger pull will make it harder to shoot well. I concur in general with the above advice, except that an M15/67 might be better just because aging eyes will have probably do better with the more visible sights.
