What is the your favorite J Frame?

[aterry33]

My vote is for the 642, as I like the enclosed hammer, the aluminum frame (steel is a little heavy, scandium is a little light) and stainless construction (at least on the cylinder/barrel).

What's your favorite?

p.s. couldn't edit my grammar in the headline after I clicked post, haha

My Model 60 and my 3" model 36. Toss a coin.

442/642...and the hammerless models let you get a bit higher grip on them.

After bouncing through various J-Frame snubbies and a K-Frame snubbie,
I settled on a 342PD pre-lock... Won't rust and very light to carry... But it's not a plinker...

36-6 or my 940. For pure pleasure of shooting it has to be the 36-6.

442.

All black in a black Mika. Blends right into a black pair of jeans.

Feel naked without it.

 

[kobsw]

A good old (1971-72 ish) Mod 36. I may be a little partial though since this is the only J Frame I have.

 

[USAF385]

642 for me as well.

642 currently my only J frame.

Sentimental favorite is a Model 36 RB with a grip adapter, but I carry a 640-1 more often. It's on my hip now, and there is a 442 in the drawer next to my elbow as I type this.

Itchy has her 642 within arm's reach as she watches TV in the other room.

J-frames? Nah, got no use for them.

Well now . . . . .

My favorite to shoot is my four inch Model 63.

My favorite to carry on the farm while I'm on a tractor or working on fence is my Model 36-1 three inch, in a Loboleather flap holster.

My favorite to carry in my pocket when I go to the evil environs of Macon, Columbus, or (God forbid) Hotlanta are any of my two-inch Chiefs Specials, usually a Model 60.

638. Love having the single action option. It's my only j frame now, but i've had others. It does what I need it to do; beside me near the computer as I write this, and in my pocket when I go out at night. The Spegels are real pretty.

 

[photoman]

642 and CorBon DPX in a Mika. Second place goes to a 442 with some old diamond magna grips and Speer 135's.

 

[BarbC]

My 60LS with CT grips.

 

[gunsmith11]

it would be hard to believe, but I think my M60 that I have owned for 30 years would be beat

 

[mg357]

my favorite j-frame of all time is the smith and wesson model 60 with a 3 inch barrel chambered in 357 magnum but unfortunately for me i have yet to find one for sale

 

[ChadW]

642 of course.

 

[ladder13]

442/642..........

 

[JamesArthur60]

Was the M36. Now the 640-1 because I have the .357 load option. I also like steel.
