What's your favorite style of J-frame?

[M3Stuart]

I like them all and am now on a quest to acquire 3 inch J frames. Here is the one I just got. A 36-1 from 71-72.

I am a lover of all J-Frames so I choose all the above. I have all styles and love them all.

Trolleyguy, I admire your decisiveness!

I have only one J frame, and it is a 642. Cenntenials are snag free and DAO. They make great concealment guns. Though typically in my pocket, I've been experimenting with a belly band for the last two weeks or so. So far, I like that way to carry.

I am in love with my Model 60...so so in love, gotta get a trigger job though!

442. Every day.

642 with a belt clip. No holster needed, minimal bulk, good DAO trigger and it hides well. What's not to like?

 

[AZretired]

I've owned most at one time or another the 642 is my favorite with my 638 a close second. I used to have a M-60 no dash with a bobbed hammer and I foolishly sold it.

I like the exposed hammer guns & Centennial about equally, don't like the Bodyguard at all. I have a 642 I pocket carry occasionally, a couple of model 60s that I sometimes deep cover conceal, & a 4" model 63 that goes in the woods every time I do.

Years ago I use to have a Chief Special that I turned into a Bodyguard by installing Bianchi Lightning Grips.
I ended up selling it and buying a 340PD for the lighter weight and .357 capability.

I have a 37 and 36, both with bobbed hammers. Also an early 49 that's just too nice to carry. I shoot Js DA so a hammer just gets in the way and I don't really need them on a J frame.

 

[mbliss57]

I like the BG best by have all of them and carry all of them.

 

[Jim Lawburgh]

640 Pro-Series.
Mica pocket holster, and three speed strips in off pocket to balance a bit.
Good pair of suspenders, and the weight goes away.
Belly band when riding my motorcycles.

[ibewbull]

640, 642, and 36
Sometimes a pair of them.
Pocket , IWB and 9R Bianchi " Bullet" Shoulder holster.
9R is nice for driving.

 

[bronco45]

Centennial, learned to shoot DAO as a cop 45 years ago, can't break the habit. Great J frame to shoot hot 38s through.

 

[rz625-8]

I carry my 642 all the time now with 4 extra HKS speedloaders.2 in each cargo pocket of jean shorts or long pants. Loaded with 158 non+p semi wadcutters.

 

[Donn]

Packing a Model 36 as I type.

Humpbacks #1
M60 #2

 

[Helderberg]

Have a 642 that I also carry but this is my favorite. Have Pacy Compact grips on it now. Helps with the recoil on these old hands.

Centennial preferred with de-horned (bobbed hammer) chiefs special not far behind but really all models are ok IMO.

 

[10mmillie]

While I love my 640 my favorite is my humpback 38-2.
