I would not "dump" a J frame revolver. That said, it might be that it has become sort of second team with the influx of the pocket size 9mm pistols, such as the S&W Shield and M&P Compact, the SIG 290RS, the Beretta Nano, the Glock 26/19, etc. The G19 takes up the same real estate as the J frame, and its magazine holds three times as many rounds of ammo that is a little better than the best personal defense 38 Special +P ammo. So, the mini-9 with appropriate ammo is here to stay. That said, "dump a J frame?" No way!
