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.

The only model I don't own, a 38 in any of its iterations. I want one just like it.

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.

I don't have one, does that mean I can't read the thread?

I'm a big-gun kinda guy but I wouldn't spit on an M-60 or kit gun.

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....
