In S&W's ever continuing effort to keep us scratching our heads, the 360J was both a 38 Spcl. (early issued) and a 357 Magnum (later issued).
There's quit a few a threads here about the 38 Spcl. version speculating why & who they were made for. Sometimes you can find them for a reasonable price & other times you are better off buying the 357 Mag version.
My son bought the 38 Spcl version (black Sc frame with black steel cylinder) new about (6) years ago & I bought the 357 version, called the Two-Tone, with the black Sc frame, but SS cylinder, along with a red front sight insert, a couple years ago new.
The fired case envelope for the 38 Spcl version only says 360 but 360J is stamped on the yoke. The 357 version has 360J both places.
