The wonderful world of J-frames!

[JayFramer]

Early "Chiefs Special Model New J frame of 1953". That's the official description; mine dates from 1955, and includes the Sambar Stag grips.

I'm prepared to give all the babes of my tribe for them stags.

Oldster,
Those ARE some great stag grips!

Looks like there are a couple J frame threads. Here's my first two:

442PC

34-1 with aftermarket hard chrome

My first and only J, picked up this past February. Model 637. I removed the hammer lock and intend on changing the grips to something wooden and fancy. Absolutely love this little piece.

Centennials!

Ask me if I like Centennials?

Hey Mr Paladin
You have a nice start of Centennials. I guess I like them a little more!

For comfort and control, my two favorite grips for my three 637s are the:
Altamont Combat grips in Super Rosewood
and the old vintage:
Herrett Shooting Star conversion grips in Walnut (the grips on the 1993 640 in the previous post).

For the purists, this is a "back to the future" J-frame. It's a nickeled Model 40-1, incorporating the grip safety of the original Model 40, but designed for +P ammo. It's strictly a holster gun as presently set up. Look, ma! No ugly hole for a "safety!"

A rare beauty!

It's beautiful!!!!!!

I don't recall if I posted in this thread. But I've had really good luck with my 442. It's my EDC.

I love ‘em, want more of ‘em.

I also like the j frames. Currently have two: a Baby J Chief Special pre 36 from 1953, and a new 642-1.

Not a J but a very nice I frame.

Here’s my Baby Chiefs BBQ gun from 1955. I also have a model 36 from about 1963, a 351C, and my EDC is a 342Ti in an ankle holster.

Got this no lock 442 last year...love it. Just installed these beautiful Altamont grips. I’m now thinking of selling my 45 XDs and getting a another j.

 

[ABPOS]

Those look really nice on there.

My Model 60 no dash is always in my pocket daily.

That is all business and no nonsense configuration right there! I love it!

My humble submission... The "J" frame is a CQB gun but with practice can be a very effective 25 meter gun too especially when you get good at staging the trigger & hammer. It took me a spell but 95 times out of a 100 I can go from DA to SA without any use of my thumb...

Please ignore the "D" frame Colt...

My (2) most carried J's coupled with Tyler-T's...

You guys are like Thor...
