J Frame Photos, Let's See Yours

[steamloco76]

I didn't find a J frame photo thread with the search, so let's start one here. Post portraits of your carry guns and safe queens.

My small collection of J frames -from 11:00 (23:00) position. Model 60-3, 3 inch Lady Smith .38 Spl., Model 60-4, 3 inch target .38 Spl., Model 36 no dash, Model 34-2 .22LR, and Model 642-1 .38 Spl.

S&W 351C

Read an article about "at least having a gun on ya", right after going to a location where I normally would have been carrying, but couldn't due to my attire, when this caught my eye. Poodle shooter? Yep, but it rolls Armadillos at 20 yards easy enough, and is easily headshot-accurate at 50ft, as long as I watch that big white front sight. I would imagine 7 rounds of .22Mag would discourage most pests
No, it aint my Combat Commander .45ACP, but I can at least carry it in my swim trunks easily during the 100F+ summers here. Don't hurt that it works 100% and is so light I don't notice it. Try one, you'll like it. Even better, if S&W would sell one in .357 or .45 made like this, without that nasty ole lock, I would pick one of those up. I can always ice my hand after 5 or 6 rounds of .357.

Mike, love that 4" 22!

The little Kit Guns are nice. One of these days, when spare cash is a little more plentiful, I`d like to get a nice blue model 34 to go with the model 63.

I've been using the same photo of my 642 for a while now, so I went ahead and took a new picture. It has cocobolo Spegel boot grips and is usually loaded with Speer 135gr SB-GDHP. I bought it new last January. It has just over 1k rounds through it so far, and probably 3-4x that in dry fire "rounds". The finish is wearing pretty badly; it's much worse on the backstrap. It may not be a beauty queen, but it is dependable and accurate.

And here it is in its holster, a Wraith IWB by Seth's Gun Leather. I had him customize it to ride lower than normal so the cylinder is lined up with the belt. It's an excellent holster, very comfortable with good retention and draw speed and it pulls the grip in tight for good concealment.

New to me this AM, a 4" 651-1 (.22 WMR):

New purchases in the last year; 3" 63, 2 1/8" 632 Pro, 3" 60 Pro:

The 3" 63 shown with it's older sibling - a 5" 63. I like the 60 Pro style wood grips - I have some on backorder for the 651!

Not shown: My first J-frame - a 642-2!
