Everybody has one, why not show them?...J-Frames

I still need to post a pic, but I just fitted some Hogue Bantam wood grips to my model 60. It is almost impossible to describe how much better it feels in my hand than with the teeny-tiny factory grips. Just amazing. I have yet to fire it with the new wood, but can only imagine how much better I'll shoot with that sizing.

Here are some of my favorite J-frames - in the group photo, from Left to Right: Model 38 no dash; Model 60-7; Model 432-PD; Model 642-1. Except for the Model 432 (.32 H&R Magnum) all of the others are chambered in .38 Special. The Model 642-1 has a cylinder from a Model 442 that has been cut for moon clips - purchased from a forum member. The other photo shows the Model 60-7 that I added a hammer from a Model 38 parts kit purchased from another forum member, as well as my Model 38 no dash that has a nickeled cylinder from the same Model 38 parts kit.

Probably my favorite S&W. A model 60-10. A very versatile gun! Great at the range or plinking with .38s, and a great woods gun also. I guess it could even be a good CC gun.

1994 Model 442 (no dash) with Pachmayr grip trimmed for use with a speedloader and Laserlyte laser sight. I've done a trigger job with an 11 pound rebound spring and 8 pound main spring. The innards have been smoothed with an extra fine Arkansas oil stone. Never had a problem with light primer strikes or trigger reset.
Shown with a custom made pocket holster, belt holster, wet molded ammo pouch with 2 five shot quick strips and an HKS 5 shot speedloader.

Here is my favorite. Model 632. Absolute joy to carry & shoot. 
Love my snubby. The reason I went with an internal hammer, was that I found while researching my options for a concealed carry gun that prosecutors claimed that a revolver with an external hammer can be cocked for every shot, showing premeditation and a “hair” trigger. Also, there’s no hammer spur to snag while drawing from concealment. I’ve also read of people being cited for criminal indifference for loading their legally carried concealed firearms with hardball ammo. The reason given was because if it had to be used in a self defense situation the bullet can pass through the criminal and strike an innocent bystander.

That's something new, I've never even heard of that. The US Military often issued 130-grain FMJ ammo, so it's not exactly unprecedented. Is this a West Virginia thing?
