I DON"T CARE FOR J FRAMES

[M3Stuart]

I like my K's...

I like my L...

I like my J's,

but they sting like he**!

- that's the Dr. Seuss version.

Just like tools, each size has a purpose. I can shoot an 8" n frame better than a 642, but it just ain't the same sitting down to a fancy dinner at the restaurant. Joe

I'm gonna un-subscribe to this thread. The OP is entitled to his opinion........

My dad just gave me a Chief's Special 2 1/2 inch barrel, I carry it with me every time I go on a walk, I love that gun, and when I do need to carry concealed that's the only one I use

Now boys, I aint the Grinch that stole Christmas & I don't put out a rye patch hoping Rudolf stops by.
I have an opinion and some of you boys do also.
I can take the gigs and digs--I started it.
Nope I aint selling or giving away--I may even grip about it the next time I shoot them.
I got two PPKs that are just as bad---one I have carried since '75. Glad I dinn't say nuthin bout them--mighta had ol 007 on my butt.
I shot about a box & 1/2 of .38'sin em---my hand is still barking.
Shoot fire boys---wonder how long this thread would have been if I had said sumtin important--like nobody in their cotton pickin right mind would shoot a 500.

Blessings &
Merry Christmas.

Like 'em or not, they will do just about any job providing the operator has the unbelievable skill of Hickok45. Check this guy out. Amazing.

NEWBIE hear. Please accept my apology up front...

RANT - ON:

I hate ratchet handles = they make crappy hammers.

I have several 'range guns' one is a Ruger #1, floated Lilja bbl, 28" chambered in .275 Rigby improved, another is a Shilen DGA, 338WM, shoots crappy 6" groups at 400yds.....I really don't like these guns when I feel the need for a 3 yard attitude adjustment.....THATs why I have 2 J frames.........and boy are they crappy at 400 yards...

Apologies

RANT - OFF

PS: Merry Christmas folks.......

love my j frames carry a model 60 with a 2'' barrel every day, also have a 4'' model 34 22 lr that goes shooting every time I go to the desert, my n frames are easy to shoot, shoot your j frames every time you go shooting and pretty soon you'll love to shoot them too!!!!

 

[mooshoo]

sigp220.45, tell me about that lovely little j frame you have there! it is hot, would love to have one!!!!

 

[jimmyj]

Hi:
You might consider a three inch barrel "J" Frame. Many eons ago I owned a Model 36-1 which was very accurate.

 

[sipowicz]

This is like saying I hate smoke detectors because they're noisy.

 

[Knightrider03m]

I think someone miss the memo about J-frames NOT being for the range.

 

[mooshoo]

not sure what you mean? I think it's great for some range time, It's all about the the fun!!!! Try it you'll like it!!!

 

[Shamrock]

Hey mooshoo you sound like a wide eyed optimist. I like that, it's all about the fun. I've yet to fire a J frame, but how bad can it be. I'd love to have one, its all about the fun.

 

[Rogue686]

I'm a newbie..but my understanding is they are primarily pocket/CCW guns. I have a model 60 in .357 with a two inch barrel that will be my carry gun. I practice with it a lot at the range to get down shooting it since it will likely be a defensive firearm. Shoot lots of .38 cylinders through it, and a couple .357 cylinders through it each week....

With that said, I find them fun at the range, even when it disappears in my hand and I shoot it with a couple cylinders of hot loads!

 

[fyimo]

I freakin' hate 'em too.

I buy 'em up so nobody else hasta' worry about havin' them.

GF

I'd hate to see what happens if you really liked them !!!

 

[amd6547]

They are lots of fun at the range loaded with light target wadcutters.
