J Frames - The Group
I enjoy J Frames. The Model 60 is a mid 1970's .38 Special and my favorite to shoot. The Bodyguard is my regular carry. With the exception of the grips on the Model 60, and the Ivory on the 642, all are S/W factory original.

J Frame Holsters
Here are the holsters that go with the J-Frames. The shoulder holster and one belt holster are original Bianchi when they were family owned in Temecula. The shoulder holster is the best one I have ever used.
The Indian holster was handmade by a local native American craftsman. Not as practical as the others but one that I enjoy.

Nice guns, thanks for sharing!
Photoman44, you made me drool all over my keyboard.
What can you tell me about the grips on the bottom revolver in post #9?
I really like them. They look like either a wooden version of the Uncle Mike's rubber grips or a woodgrain colored version of the Uncle Mike's grips.
I'd like to have a set.
As far as how J frames shoot. I own a 31-1, and have owned a Rossi 68 (36 copy) and own 3 (including my wife's) Taurus 85s (J frame size).
None of them shoot like a Python/L-frame/OP-OM/27/14/etc.
They aren't priced like one, nor are they intended to shoot like them.
They're not high-end target guns.
They're high-end CC SD/BU guns, and they perform their intended roles marvelously. In fact, all J frames/J frame lookalikes I've ever shot shot better than their intended purpose.
I am somewhat biased toward small frame DA revolvers. My favorite capgun as a boy was a Chief's Special.
It's a size that just feels so right.
With good grips and a steel frame, I don't get all the hype about how "hard" they are to shoot. I've owned more J sized revolvers than any other frame size. I like them a lot.
I really need to get off my can and try to catch up with Photoman44's collection.

A whole lotta j's:
When are you going to make that a bakers dozen?
Oh Great, just when I thought I had run out of excuses for buying another j-frame....

Some mighty fine J frames you've all posted! I'll add another of my own. I grabbed the nearest paperback book for a size comparison when I took this photo last year, and if you look closely, I'm using the book to almost entirely cover the little J frame, leaving only a sliver of the muzzle peeking out so you know there is a gun under that book next to the twin 60 chambered in .357 nearby. That's a lotta power in a little package...
I did have Uncle Mike's boot grips, both the long and short versions on this gun, I fired it with the short grips, I didn't even notice the recoil. I wanted to see what the gun looked like with old style factory wood grips and a Tyler T grip adapter, and no way I can go back to the rubber grips, the wood feels better, seems less bulky, but I have not fired the gun with this combo yet. I hope to soon enough.

I'd like to play too.
Thanks. Actually after some researches online, it is a N frame but it's still a fine piece craftsmanship!
We recently added some small updates to this 638-3 that was originally produced in 2007.
It is probably worth mentioning the pistol was unloaded before being hung on the scale.
Best of all, it is still fun to shoot with all of the standard pressure rounds we have tried so far. Life is good!

The j frames were the start of this addiction for me. Just love the little guys. I have a number of them, but this is my favorite because its the one I carry the most. Model 36 from about 1969, bought from a private seller at a gun show who threw in the vintage holster as part of the deal.
