I set out to put together the perfect J frame 360...

Well for myself at least.

I needed a backup/coat pocket revolver to carry and while I love the look of the old classic 36s, they are just too heavy for my needs. So obviously I was going to be looking for a lightest weight 38 special J frame.

So I made this one look as retro and nostalgic as I could.

Wow! Good job. I'd say mission accomplished.

Is that its serial number on the left side? Did it begin its life as a 360J?

Really nice I've owned a 360J since they first began to show up a few years ago. By far my favorite Jframe of the 3 that I own

That looks really nice!

That looks great - pardon my ignorance - is the cylinder Ti? It looks different...

Kinda sorta related - my (probably) equally light LCR .22 has become my favorite pocket handgun.

Edited to add: I'm an idgit - Google is my friend. It is Ti - I thought that all of the scandium revolvers had a different and special marking on them…. That's what I get for thinking! ...

Nice, clean, effective appearance! I really like it!

Holy cow, that is just outstanding. I think I too may have to set out on a similar mission.

I was thinking about getting some Altamonts for my 360 M&P but after seeing your post I may have changed my mind.

It isn't, the cylinder is black just like the rest of the finish. I was having a time with it and glare and that is why it came out looking like that. Plus I was kinda rushed to get the pictures taken and posted.

Thanks, me too. I think often times simplicity, aka "a clean look" gets taken for granted.

I will say that the grips are simply perfect looking but do look darker in person.

Looks nice. The stocks are the same as the ones I put on my 637-2.

Yes, the "peanut" grips and T-grip really look good. Now for the acid test. With that grip set-up, can you do double taps on a paper pie plate at 5-7 yards? Have a safe, happy holiday!

I had a 637 till one of my daughters borrowed it. Probably gone. I'm thinking of a 360 PC. Almost the same as you 360 but lighter and in 357.
