What's your favorite style of J-frame?

[307-Niner]

I only have one J frame so far, a M&P 340. So I voted Centennial.

Maybe someday I can obtain the others @ make some comparisons.

442/642.
Why? They just work.

Centennial all the way. I own 2 of them, but my favorite has to be my 642 Pro no lock. Love that little thing. I also have a M37 with a bobbed hammer, so that's almost like a Centennial

Fun Poll!

I find myself constantly checking in to see if my beloved Chief's Specials are catching up in the voting!

Although my EDC is a 638-3, the majority of my j-frames are exposed hammer models. Having the single action option is a real asset to me.

Started out with this 37 ....



The last one I bought was this one ....



But I think I've settled on this little revolver as "the best" ...



Guess my vote goes to the "hammerless" frame!

While I went with the Chief's Special, it was because I didn't have the opportunity to vote for other favorites, the Models 34 & 35, as well as the near-mythical Model 631... in short, small caliber, adjustable sighted Kit Guns! I love my Baby Chief (it's in my CCW rotation) but the J-frame platform is also perfect for the Kit Gun.

I like my 36 Square Butt. At the time of purchase 11-1972 S&W revolvers were not well stocked in the area shops. I wanted a steel gun w/round butt. I settled for a square butt and have never regretted it. It carries well concealed & with a Tyler T & I consistently surprise myself with it's accuracy. SA is nice for those long shots that in real life would most likely never be needed or tried.
In those days "automatics" were too "dangerous" & thus many if not most agencies prohibited them for off duty cary.

First choice is the Model 38 old style Bodyguard, second is a square butt Model 37.

438 most days
60-15 sometimes
60-18 seldom but when fishing or hiking.

Early dashless 640 (1990, per S&W), my daily companion for over sixteen years.

Found this one while rummaging thru my safe, it supplanted my 642.
I may convert it to 9mm.
