If you could only have 1 J frame, what would it be?

My 1 J frame

340PD no question.

Easy.
My 60-15.

If I ever get to carry it will be this one:

A Model 63. It would be for SD, though.

Like picking a favorite child

For just one I'll go with the 60-10
I'd not feel under gunned with the 360J

it would be my 632-2 .327 magnum for its versatility

I'd really like a 632 for my wife, as it would be a good companion for her Model 63.

Myself, I'm thinking of an M&P 640 without the lock.

However, J-frames are a real compromise for me because of their small size. They are much slower for me to get into action than a K-frame. Had an old Model 36 years ago. I had to mill a scallop into the right side of the front of the trigger guard just to make it easier to get my finger into it quickly. By the time it was fitted with grips large enough to fit my hand, I threw in the towel and got a K-frame Model 12.

... your best carry/personal protection/range J frame if you could only have 1.

Based on the specific criteria noted in the OP it has to be my 640 Pro.

If the question had been, "If you could only have one J frame, which would it be?" I would have had to say the "original" J, my baby chiefs.

Model 36-1 3" with adjustable sights and action tune. Wearing Altamont grips and carried IWB year around.

I only have one J-frame and it's a 34-1 in .22 LR. Not a gun for self-defense, but sure is fun to have for just plinking or occasionally shooting small game.

Model 63! (older model, not the newer ones)

But, it is cruel to ask us to limit to only one J-frame choice.
Love them all and collect them all.
