My most recent j-frame purchase.

Here's mine. Lately I've been carrying the 638, giving the 642 a break.

Here's my J-frame contribution. It's a model 34-1 "Kit Gun" in .22LR. Bought it for my wife back in 1980. I have used it to train a few women on double-action revolver shooting, before moving up to .38 Specials. It has also bagged a couple of blue grouse and a few rabbits.

S&W Model 34-1 "Kit Gun" in .22LR with Altamont walnut grips.

Thanks for looking.

God bless,

Understand it is a 5 shot but why not put one more round in the speed strip, just in case? I would hate to think you were one short if you needed it.

I realize this is a very old thread, but maybe you'll still see this, besides it's a great thread. It took me a while, but it finally dawned on me to do the same thing. It doesn't take up any more room in my pocket to put one extra round in it. I carry anywhere from 2 to 4 speed strips at any given time and if I have 4, that give me almost another full cylinder. Granted I'll probably never need to even use the gun in self defense (at least I hope not) and even if I did, I highly doubt I'll go through 25 rounds! But I said to myself, why not carry an extra round in it? Doesn't make it harder to reload and it actually makes a lot of sense. Again, I'll probably never need to use my gun or all those rounds, but we don't carry guns because it's guaranteed that we'll never need it right? We carry because it's always possible, so why not have the extra round per strip? I've carried them full ever since.

My 60-4 .38 Special Heavy Barrel with target sights never ceases to impress me at the range. I put 15 shots into under 4 inches (2nd shot flier due to a flinch-my wife fired her gun and I jerked the trigger!) at 50 feet standing. I've shot several sub 2 inch groups with this gun at 50 feet.

Hey, I have a question for you, and hopefully you'll see this as this is a very old thread. You're not the first person I've seen who said their Model 60 with the full lug is a -4. I thought before maybe it was a typo because I think the -14 also has the full lug. I have seen pictures of a -7 and it still didn't have that shroud on it. Did Smith and Wesson make their -4's all with those shrouds? Is it a 38 special only? I had previously thought that the -8 or -9 was when they first did that. I do know that Smith did that with the Model 36 in the late 80's or early 90's (I believe) so did they do that to the Model 60's as well at the same time? Please help me clarify. I like to know everything possible about these guns. Thanks in advance.

Attached is a pic of my one month old BG38 Bodyguard 38 Special snubbie.

Oh, wait... No pics for now, it is still at S&W being repaired after the action locked up!

Sorry, couldn't resist.

Just out of curiosity, did it have anything to do with the internal lock? I'd imagine it didn't, just curious.

 

[Etalksalot]

Only have two, but one packs a punch.

Glad to see someone who has a set of brass b.... Well, you get the idea. I was starting to think I was the only person who'd put magna grips on a J frame 357. Glad to see someone else put there doesn't have padded, cushioned, soft rubbers on their compact pocket cannon. Very nice!

 

[Etalksalot]

These two are gone but I have a 642 now. Miss my 638.
Frank.

I'm just curious, I can't really tell what the two guns are in the picture. You said 638, what is the other one? I can tell it's an Airweight stainless something. 637?

 

[Etalksalot]

Model 640, 337PD, 36. No dashes here.

Hey, just curious here. The 640, did those not have the grip safety like the original Model 40's? I'm guessing not since it's a no dash, but I just wanted clarification so I will be more educated in the future.

 

[Hawker800]

My only one. 642.

 

[SeamasterSig]

My only J-frame so far: model 60-7

And one of the ways I like to carry it: a Lobo horsehide pocket holster

My 60-4 .38 Special Heavy Barrel with target sights

I really like the look of this model 60 with the 3-inch heavy barrel.
