J Frame Photos, Let's See Yours

[sdb321]

I got mine back from The Sand Burr Gun Ranch. It looks different because I had a set of Pach's installed. It also has a 10 pound trigger pull and smooth as glass. Denny is a true craftsman. The revolver is perfect now.

Truth be told, it hasn't been carried and has just sat since I got another GLOCK 43 back in November to replace the one I sold...

Here are before and after shots of my DAO 36-2. I picked up the combats at last weekend's show in Riverton: $50. Much better.

Well, looking back, I've posted replies to posts on this thread, but never posted any pictures of my own "J" Frames. Which in a way is good, because if I had, they would be gone with the Photobucket debacle. So I think I'm going to give it a shot with the forum's own picture service.

Here is about as early a J frame as I'm likely to find, bought from a fellow forum member a couple of years ago. A "Baby Chief". Shipped in May of 1952. This photo is from the previous owner, can't find any of my own right now, and he is a better photographer than I'll ever be.

Here's another early one that I bought from the same fellow, a wonderful early example of what was later to become the model 40. But when this one was shipped in December of 1953, they were still calling it the "Hammerless Chiefs Special", this model would be named the "Centennial", after the company's 100th anniversary in 1952, and when model numbers were assigned, as I noted above, would become the model 40:

Well, the above are my two earliest J Frames, and here are some of my newest...these are the so called "Magnum J Frames", and are all chambered for the .357 Magnum cartridge.

From Top to Bottom:

Model 340 PD, .357 Magnum, shipped October 2nd, 2014;
Model M&P 340, .357 Magnum, Shipped October 29th, 2011
Model 640-1 Pro Series, .357 Magnum,
Model 640-1 .357 Magnum, shipped July 1999

All are No Lock variations. Of my three dozen Smith and Wessons, none have an internal lock, although I have reluctantly come to terms with the MIM parts. For the last few years, the 340 PD has been my most carried handgun. It's 11. Something ounce weight make it an extremely lightweight burden to bear!!

Best Regards, Les

The picture suffers from poor lighting, but here's my blued J frames; 36 round, 36 square, 37-1 square. The one in the middle is my current EDC.

44Powers, that is one good looking revolver!!

Thanks! I just have to get stainless hardware for the barami grips and it will be perfect! I'll post some more pics when it's done
