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

My always gun, S&W 360 with CT grips, Kramer leather and Smart Carry are the dominate retention methods.

Nothing carries like a JFrame............Nothing!

EDC and twice on Sunday, 37

I love my little 37. It's a 1968 model and a little rough around the edges but is very good mechanically. I am finally getting better with it. That Bianchi is a very comfortable holster and is very easy to draw from.
Peace,
Gordon

642 fitted with performance center grips w/ IWB holster has been my edc for quite a while.

Sorry about the other gun, I don't have a picture of just the J-Frame. At least it's not a Glock, right?

What a great pair, I dont think the picture would have been the same without them together. Beautiful guns

 

[wheelyfun66]

Here's a pic of my 340 no lock and my former 66 snub (sold to a forum member...)

The 340 has proven to be one of my all-time favorites for carry.

No plinkers here, no target guns or collectors items, never have dozed peacefully inside a safe. These are for the time when wolves scream, horns blare and fear yells in you ear "Run, Run!!!"

...why not show them?...J-Frames.

Because your original premiss is incorrect. Not everyone has one. Haven't owned a J-frame in something like 20 years. After chronographing what ammo actually does out of a 1-7/8" barrel, then watching both cops and civilians trying to qualify with J-frames...and fail when shooting double action...I've decided they just aren't worth all the hoop-la.

As with everything in this life, YMMV!

Dave.....I suppose you are one of those that carries nothing less than a caliber and frame in the howitzer family?

The snub-nose is a short-range belly-gun....plain and simple, I think we all know that. Never in my wildest dreams would I expect a 2-inch barrel to be a tack-driver at 50-yards. Most people that I know who carry a Smith for SD carry a J-Frame of some kind.

There's on of those in every crowd. If a person has no interest in J-Frames why look at the thread? Why comment?

I've got a couple Airweights around, but they hide out so well, I can't find them. Joe

Double Trouble...

A pair of 640-1 Centennial Magnums in one of Lefty's "New York Reload" rigs....

These guns are the pinnacle of Self Defense J-Frames.

Here's another favorite, a 1967 Model 60, also in one of Lefty's pocket holsters....
