Not a J,
But close enough! I like plastic guns and plastic holsters! This is my rig if I'm not carrying a Glock 23 & spare mag. LCR with reload is 1.1lbs, the Glock with reload is 2.5lbs. The laser is also a great asset when shooting from unconventional positions, such as retention.
Who made the holster?
Picked up my first j-frame a few weeks ago. It's a model 36..... Fired about 45 rounds through it so far an love it! Been carrying it OWB in a Milt Sparks holster. Here's a pic I snapped on the trail leading to our local public range.
^^^Fchewy^^^ By the look of it, my guess on holster manufacturer here would be Raven Concealment... Raven Concealment Systems

Model 51 DOB
Hello fellow SW enthusiasts! I have a real nice SW model 51 with serial # M3XX. Anyone tell me when it was born?? It also has a 22lr cylinder with it, target trigger, laser, target hammer and custom horn grips. I'd appreciate it if someone can fire off to me the DOB. I'd appreciate it. Capt. John

Beautiful....all of them.
Since this post I've gone through 3 favorite owb holsters.
This one's my newest favorite, for now.

Four + years after the fact, John's original thread still resonates. Nothing better than a J-frame for CCW.

My 442-1 got me back into revolvers after a several year hiatus. Out of nowhere I found myself shooting little revolvers quite well. I suppose the years of terrible first shot DA work with autos may have paid off.

The last purchase was the 649-5. It's quite smooth in double and 3lbs even in single. A Pachmayr grip conceals easily enough and makes magnum shooting fun. It's been THE IWB gun since purchase.
The 442/LaserGrip combo is perfect. It too has a silky smooth trigger and the CTC grip absorbs recoil nicely while still being slim enough for easy pocket and ankle carry. It is very entertaining to shoot, and while the intention was to put more miles on the 649 it hasn't worked out that way. It shoots well enough to earn me an http://smith-wessonforum.com/smith-...92-internet-snubby-match-4.html#post138052560 win.

and my 640 no dash. The 640 got some altamonts too
OP
Here's a "J" that you don't see too many of any more, since they were discontinued in 1991. This one was made in 1981, in the days of "pinned and recessed." It's a Model 34-1 22/32 Kit Gun, in the deluxe version. It has all the bells and whistles - red ramp front sight, white outline rear, semi-target hammer, nickel plating, and smooth rosewood stocks. I suspect this configuration is comparatively rare, and in this condition, even more so. It's one of my favorite "safe queens."

Yeah . . . I remember Marcus from high school. He was always a "teacher's pet" because he liked to help keep attendance.He's the inventor.
Actually, you need to brush up on your Spanish. That translates to "Registered Trademark" of Smith and Wesson.
At one time, I used to date Pat Pending. She was a knockout in her day. At the last class reunion . . . not so much.
