19yrs ago I started out with a J frame, some how became infected badly with pocket autos... Tried them all..about 15 of them, the Last of them was a pair of Rohrbaugh R9 9mm micro pistols. Sold both Rohrbaughs and picked up two 340 j frames. I'm of the opinion that you need two of anything that you will have to depend on. I don't see myself using anything other than a J frame for my defensive purposes, I really have seen enough malfunctioning from semi autos to not trust one if I was in a arms length battle for my life, I hate the possibility of a jam from a assailant grabbing the slide or a contact shot stopping my defensive use of a handgun. For me, it will always be a J frame or two for my defensive carry from now on.
