S&W 351C
Read an article about "at least having a gun on ya", right after going to a location where I normally would have been carrying, but couldn't due to my attire, when this caught my eye. Poodle shooter? Yep, but it rolls Armadillos at 20 yards easy enough, and is easily headshot-accurate at 50ft, as long as I watch that big white front sight. I would imagine 7 rounds of .22Mag would discourage most pests 
No, it aint my Combat Commander .45ACP, but I can at least carry it in my swim trunks easily during the 100F+ summers here. Don't hurt that it works 100% and is so light I don't notice it. Try one, you'll like it. Even better, if S&W would sell one in .357 or .45 made like this, without that nasty ole lock, I would pick one of those up. I can always ice my hand after 5 or 6 rounds of .357.

The little Kit Guns are nice. One of these days, when spare cash is a little more plentiful, I`d like to get a nice blue model 34 to go with the model 63.

I've been using the same photo of my 642 for a while now, so I went ahead and took a new picture. It has cocobolo Spegel boot grips and is usually loaded with Speer 135gr SB-GDHP. I bought it new last January. It has just over 1k rounds through it so far, and probably 3-4x that in dry fire "rounds". The finish is wearing pretty badly; it's much worse on the backstrap. It may not be a beauty queen, but it is dependable and accurate.
And here it is in its holster, a Wraith IWB by Seth's Gun Leather. I had him customize it to ride lower than normal so the cylinder is lined up with the belt. It's an excellent holster, very comfortable with good retention and draw speed and it pulls the grip in tight for good concealment.

New to me this AM, a 4" 651-1 (.22 WMR):
New purchases in the last year; 3" 63, 2 1/8" 632 Pro, 3" 60 Pro:
The 3" 63 shown with it's older sibling - a 5" 63. I like the 60 Pro style wood grips - I have some on backorder for the 651!
Not shown: My first J-frame - a 642-2!

My newly acquired 60-9 sporting Altamonts & mated with a Remora holster has become my new EDC combo. It's my one & only J-Frame, but it's definitely a keeper.

Sorry for the crappy pics, but it is not SS, it is coated. (which is flaking). But I like the grips, they are a little longer than the stock ones.
Here is a better pic;

Ya'll asked for it!
This 37 looks better now but it is still tight and accurate. It is not a safe queen, but does pull guard duty for the queens. I want to say that you folks have some real nice guns in this thread. I am still slobbering a little.........OK, a lot. 
Peace,
Gordon

Not Even in the Same League
What a great collection of the gunmaker's art!!
FWIW, here's a couple more; the 2" is from a Forum member, the
other is from G-B. I really Like these, so even tho they can't shine
in this pic, they shine for me.

A pair of J frame target Kit Guns, similar to the Masterpiece series offered long ago.....Mod 34-2, 22/32 Kit Gun and Mod 30-1, .32 Kit Gun.
Where'd that M frame come from...a 2 1/4" snubby 6+1.
