What is the your favorite J Frame?

[ACP230]

Although I have an M38 in my pocket as I write this, my favorite J-frame is my M649-2. I shoot it best of all the small revolvers I own.

 

[Glock 'em down]

I don't think I ever met a J frame I didn't like.

I was planning on going for the stainless steel J frame trifecta - a model 60 "Chief's Special" a model 649 "Bodyguard" and a model 640 "Centennial."

I had the model 60 as well as the 649, but I traded the 649 for "something" and in a moment of weakness, I sold the model 60.

I gave myself a good, long talking to, finally realizing that I'm NOT a collector, but rather just a dumb cop.

So, I sold the "something" that I traded my 649 for and used those funds for a 4566 that I have on order as we speak, then I sold the model 60 for a more user friendly (read: lighter) no lock model 642.

I think the 4566 on the hip and the 642 in the pocket will be the perfect carry combo.

For me anyways.

I was born in '49 and sort of collect *49* things (still a Bears fan though). So my J is a 49. It's my only J-Frame.
I really like the revolver - I shoot it quite accurately up to 25 yards, but it's a bit heavy for pocket carry - at least for me.

So - My favorite may be a Model 38, even though I don't have one (yet).
I really like blued guns, but my favorite is a 686

I was handed an LCR a while ago and couldn't believe how light it is. But I'm just not a plastic gun guy

It may be time to trade my 3913 for a 38 - Decisions, decisions

[Catbird33]

I have several "J" frames, but I've always been partial to the Bodyguard-style revolvers.

1. S&W 649, .357 Magnum
2. S&W 638, .38 SPL +P

 

[CW Spook]

My 642CT to carry, a Model 40 to look at.

 

[4864]

Model 60

My first J Frame was a Model 60 no dash. Traded it off and should have kept it. I now have a 642-1 Non IL. Love it for light weight ankle and pocket carry. Picked up a nice Model 36-7 last week and this weekend was very happy to locate a Model 60 no dash again. This one is a in much better shape then the first one I had. Came in the box. The Model 60 was the first stainless steel gun S&W made. I love the stainless steel guns so my choice is the Model 60.

 

[Old 44 Guy]

I like all of them. Only have 2 left, a Model 37 & a 38.

 

[Bat Guano]

They're all good. Got the wife a M37 and dehorned it back in '76; light and slick, and she shoots it well; it's been doing duty ever since. She quit loaning it to me so I got a 442 for an "always" gun. For fun the M60-4 3" FL is the greatest one ever.

Makes you wonder how the world ever got along without them.

Ignoring my I-frames to focus on the pure J's, I am kind of partial to this one because it is the only one I have.

I put the ebony stocks on because I didn't like the factory handle.

 

[CAJUNLAWYER]

Toss up between my 63 and my 337

 

[OIF2]

This one. Lots of memories in LA packing this around.

[ar15ed]

flat latch, diamond grip model 38 is my favorite! 340pd is a close second!

 

[mike from st pete]

J Frame

S&W MOD60-4, three inch full under lug barrel, adjustable rear sight, TH & TT. I put a square butt grip on it too.
Used to be my ex-wife's but her hippy BF doesn't believe in guns? You'd figure that after many years of owning and shooting this sweet little 38 she'd want to keep it?
I sure am glad she didn't!

 

[Thicker]

Smith & Wesson 432 PD- Excellent CCW weapon....

 

[bubbiesdad]

Chief Special from 53'. My first handgun, the one I qualified for my HCP with.
