J carry guns - the old(er) and the new(er) ......
While I LOVE my vintage Smiths, I normally carry a 340 PD. However, I practice with and also carry the model 37 pictured below. I'll admit to feeling just a little extra spring in my step when the 37 is tagging along. Odd?
Other combos?

I love the 37. Great gun! Mine served me well for years!
Now it's a 442!

This is my warm weather carry. I worry about firepower somedays but it is fast to deploy from a pocket and totally reliable. This gun is a long way from new.

Most days I carry a 640-1, (2001), and as a backup a 637-2, (2011). One of these days I need to take some pics and learn how to post them.

My oldest carry gun is a 1981 model 36. The 442s and 37 are after 2000.

J carry guns - the old(er) and the new(er) ......
Top one (637) has been my carry choice lately, but will be going with the 1973 Model 36 here shortly. Have to send the 6 month old 637 back to S&W.

I carry a 340PD or a 640 in my back pocket everyday. I have done it for 12 years and if I feel necessary add a sidearm in a holster also under a shirt.
I think the J frames are one of the best guns ever made. So practical. I have a 1955 pre 36 and a 1961 36 also. Have a nickel 37. Love these little guns.
