There's a cure! You first have to sell off all your J-frames real cheap, to us forum members (I'll take the little M60 with the Tgrip for $350.00/shipped) and then you'll begin to heal!!

The only thing you can due for the fever is feed it with more.
Nice snubbies guys.

Yeah, it's called K frameitis not to be confused with the dreaded N frame syndrome.

Pre-war malaria, followed closely by N frameitis overpower J frameitis for me. The last Js' remaining are a 35-1, 640 3" and the 317.
But boy howdy ,when I peruse the N frame collection I don't even miss the little fellers.
It's all a matter of TaSte,, Good luck ,,,Allen F.

Man, beautiful guns on this thread, nice!
I only have this one, but I sure do like it. Shoots like a dream on a steady diet of Gold Dot +P...

I'm sorry you didn't like shooting them. I absolutely love it. My hands are way oversized for them, so working the trigger is different. Still I kind of like feeling like a bullet is being shot out of my fist.

There is no cure. Additional purchases will only soothe the symptoms, as I know from experience. There is always one more model or variation I don't have yet, and just feels so good or is better condition that the one I already have.
The only know cure is an empty wallet.
But then there's always the possibility of trades.

Because of their size, my the wife and kids shoot them. Reload for recoil sensitivity and youll have multiple enablers.
I found myself in the closet fondling a 5” 60 , and knew i needed help.
When I started mugging old ladies and selling my bunghole to finish off my humpback collection I went to J Anon.

I dub my problem OCD: Old Chiefs Disorder.
Then I became enamored with Centennials so the acronym still applies.
I'm not searching for a cure; I simply keep feeding the monkey on my back (and this zombie thread). Here are a few of my favorites.

Howdy,
I had J frame itis bad at one time when I started shooting. I have below average size hands and the little J frames seemed logical. I assumed the light weight and small size would equate to my getting good accuracy. What a mistake that was.
My cop friends pushed shooting double action (DA) as a way to develop skills. If you can shoot DA, you can shoot anything. DA shooting was a frustrating experience. Working that long, heavier trigger with a light gun was tough. I also discovered that tuning that J frame trigger was much more difficult than expected.
I must have had a dozen before I accidentally got my first N frame, the 28 Highway Patrolman. It felt huge. I then discovered for the first time what a nice DA trigger with some weight could do. It changed my shooting. What a giant mistake I had made assuming small grip size and weight equated with ease of shooting.
A mind is like a parachute, it works best when it's open. Once I had felt that nice DA squeeze with a little weight, I could get nice tight little groups. It was then easy to see why K and L frames had come along.
That J frame trigger, even after stoning and tuning, will never equal the larger frames DA trigger work.
With all that said, don't misunderstand me.
Every backcountry walk I take has my little 360PD along. It hits me harder than my 44 mag, but I forget it's there at 13 oz.
So NOOOOO , I haven't found the cure yet.

My cure was "D" frames!
2" K-frame fever is the cure.
Over on the gun leather forum I put up photos of my 25 "dog ear"
holsters. My friend Red Nichols said I have a sickness. I agreed.
I've always been crazy (that's the sickness) but it's kept me from
going insane. (With thanks to Waylon Jennings)
With respect to the J Frames, I only have one, a 642-1. I carry it more
than my Ks or Ns or oddball brands (like my Colt 1911 Gold Cup) for
instance.
So, if you have more than a few J Frames, you probably have the same
kind of sickness I have, but a slightly different strain. Sorry, I don't
believe there is a cure.
