Show me some J frame Pics

632 UC. I haven't shot it yet but timing, barrel alignment, overall fit and finish seem very good.

Here's my model 36 No Dash, carried in Uncle Mike's pocket holster and loaded with Underwood 150gr Wadcutters

That's Nickel right? looks a lot like SS in this photo.

632 UC. I haven't shot it yet but timing, barrel alignment, overall fit and finish seem very good.

That's how mine started out. But, I didn't much like the hard G-10 grips or the contrasting, black, small part accents. So, …



… thumb piece, ejector rod, and side plate screws were exchanged for stainless steel, and a Hogue Bantam grip was substituted. While I was about it, an 11 pound Wolff trigger rebound spring was also installed to improve double action. So now, it's just right for me, as I become more recoil sensitive in my advancing years.

A 360SC, I knew I was buying it the moment I picked it up. An 11.4 ounce .357 Magnum is a handful. I switched to +P .38s before I ingrained a permanent flinch.

And an M38 Airweight. I bought this for my Dad after he told me he couldn't rack the slide on his crappy (but completely reliable) Davis .380. It was his constant companion until his death. Now it is my daily carry. The few extra ounces are more than covered by the memories.

Model 36 no dash 3", circa 1960, original numbered stocks in the safe, generic targets for shootin'.

Model 60-4. Bought in 1992.

I'm down to 2 Jframes presently. A m37 and m34 4". Looking for a good deal on an old M38.

My only engraved guns, happen to be J frames. The 640 is very near and dear to me. The engraver was a resident of my hometown. I went through grammar and high school with his grandchildren but at that young age, I knew nothing of his talents.

I really like that M38. As nice a job as I've ever seen.

I'm down to one J frame - A Model 60, just like the first J frame I acquired in 1973. Was my first J and first stainless Smith & Wesson.

J frames? I've got a few. The engraved one is an I-frame.

 

[giguchan]

Will you guys give me chance to catch up? Lotta nice J's i see.
I wish the people who have their M60's for sale would take as good photos as you guys do.
Getting tired of asking for "better photos" so i can see what's what!

31-1 mid to late 70s

Here's all the kinds ... not my best shooting effort, though.

 

[dbcolts]

I'm craving some gun porn of your J frames. Show me some pics and tell me some stories.

Here is my 1970 Model 37 .38 Spl. 2". Carried as my main defense weapon for the last 55 years. Not pretty....but it served me well. And once a year....it get fired up. Its on my CCW all that time. Had it since I was a Smith & Wesson Law Enforcement Distributor back then. My in-house gunsmith did the action job and bobbed the hammer.....DA only. I carry Hydra-shock ammunition in it. And put snake-shot in it....when we are our prospecting. We were selling Model 29's for $129 back in 1970.

 

[old tanker]

Here they be. Not a safe queen in the batch, they all get shot. They all came second hand, and a couple are police trade-ins.


Model 36 (1962)


Model 36-1 (1976)


Model 37-2 (1969)


Model 40 (1959)


Model 640-1 (1996)

My no-frills Model 36 no-dash. Don Hume, IWB, thumbreak holster, Speer Gold Dot 130 grain+P SB ammo. I don't always carry. But, when I do, this is the kit.
