I would pick one that was chambered for 357. I can always select 38 special ammunition.
If you could only have 1 J frame, what would it be?

As I mentioned in Post #69, my choice if I were limited to a single J-frame (or maybe even to a single handgun) my Model 60-4 would be a strong contender. I just picked up this Tyler T-Grip recently and stuck it on with an old pair of faux ivories I had laying around. I'm not sure yet whether I prefer them over my Thai ebonies, but they make an interesting look, and I can switch back and forth as I wish!

Am I the only one to carry a 342 Ti? I also have an 36 that I just bought and it is a no dash.

I frame nada, N frames is what I like.

I like N frames also. However, easier to conceal my 342 & 36, then my 3.5 inch 27-2.

I'm satisfied with my 60 no-dash, my only J frame I would consider to meet the SD/CC criteria set by the OP; however, my .22 LR Model 63 Kit Gun is my favorite plinking revolver.
I do,its a 642 airweight
My Pre 36 flat Latch
that sure looks like a baby chief to me....smooth or serrated ramp?

60-4 is for me. No one is getting that little revolver, I'm being buried with it.
The ramp front sight is serrated and it has the small trigger guard. I'm not sure if it's a chief special or baby chief.
It is a Chiefs Special but it is also a baby chief. That is a 1st style flat latch. If you go to member Hondo44 blog page http://smith-wessonforum.com/blog.php?u=134353 it will give you an idea of what you have and when it was made. I have the same gun, except that it is a smooth ramp front sight, which preceeded the serrated ramp front sight. If you put up the serial number, someone will come up with an approximate shipping date.

. . . That would be my Model 60-2 NY-1 (1989). Looks great and shoots good.

Living in Florida, where men sweat (women glow), the gun has to be stainless or some other rust-free material.
For me that would be either my 642-1 or my 638 (both no-lock) because of their resistance to rust and light weight.
Probably would go with the 638 for the rarely needed or used ability to fire single action.
