Love my 43C,,, perfect for the little things.

I'm so tempted to make a 43C my second J-Frame.

My 1995 640-1 is the first handgun I ever purchased. I bought it NIB in 2008 from my brother.
I asked him if he could find me a hammerless .357 for my EDC and he said he had the perfect one for me and this was it.
It served as my EDC for 6 years. I added the Goncalo Alves smooth Combat grips.




A few years later I told him to keep an eye out for a hammerless airweight for me. The 640-1 seemed like it was getting heavier as time went on.
In Aug 2014 he gave me his 2008 642-1 (the year I bought the 640-1 from him). This was his backup until he retired from LE.
This has been my EDC since ever since he gave it to me.

That same day he gave me my 1979 6" M28-2.




About two years ago I was having lunch with a good friend and he said, "I know you like .357s and I have one I'd like you to have".
I ended up buying this 2017 60-14 Lady Smith .357 from him.
It came with a IWB holster, this nice Galco shoulder holster, a sock holster and a box of .38 Special +P ammo. He made me an offer I couldn't refuse.

Its still NIB and has only been fired three times at the factory.

I really like these Zeta6 speedloaders for my J-frames too.
I carry the speedloader strips in my pocket and these in my vehicles.

Model 642-2 because I needed a backup gun to replace a nickel-plated Model 37ND with sights I couldn't see. I ended up swapping the Model 37ND for a 2 inch Model 12-2. I bought the Model 642-2 because I walked into a S&W factory sale at the LGS & range. All the J-Frames (438/442) were $399.99 while the 642-2s were $324.99. I said I'd take the 642-2, and the guy behind the table said, "Pick a box." Confused, I just picked up the top box. He said, "Open it." Really confused, I did and found a $100.00 off store coupon. Walked out with the 642-2 for $254 and change after taxes.

It now belongs to my granddaughter of the tiny hands who is a USMC corporal.

The 2 inch Model 12-2 dates to 1963, became my backup, & is my current EDC.

Although J frames aren't the focus of my attention, I think everyone should have at least one. The only J frame currently on my short list is a 2" 34/63.

My only J-frame is this mint "Model of 1953 Early Chiefs Special" with India Sambar Stag grips. One of my most cherished revolvers. Have to admit she's a safe queen.

@Rubi Ranch...

I've gotta get a half dozen of those "Zeta6 Speed Loaders" you posted. That is such an ingenious design... so utilitarian and simple with no knobs to twist or pull. They may even be almost as quick for a reload as a True Moon Clip!

I'm a big fan of stainless for a "working" gun. This early (67) model 60 is a favorite checking a lot of boxes for me.

I love the little J-frames and have accumulated a number that I've fancied and acquired over many years. Here's a thread that describes them in some detail:

A lot of great guns here. It just makes the fever worsen.
The only pictures I have on my 442 is that of showing it's front sight change.

I did not get to own the 351PD to long and it some how became my sons but I replaced it with with 351C both are great pocket guns to me.
