Isaac, I live daily with an M&P 340 in my pocket. It is really the ultimate pocket gun and rule 1 gun.

Just a Hairy Special Snowflake supply clerk with no field experience, shooting an Asymetric carbine as a Try Hard. Snarky and easily butt hurt. Favorite animal is the Cape Buffalo....likely indicative of a personality disorder.
"If I had a grandpa, he would look like Delbert Belton".
All the local shops want 770$ for it.. Buds is out of stock last I checked.. yet, i've already ordered grips for it
642 with DSG clip on AIWB holster or RCS pocket holster.
Just to be different, my favorite (as in, gets shot often) is my M63 3 inch. Favorite as in ain't gonna get sold is my M38 with flaking electroless nickel surface finish. Very ugly gun, rode on my ankle for years...
Just to mention - I had a SW 317 LS - nice looking gun but I couldn't stand the trigger. I know folks like the newer 22 snubbies.
My older stainless 649 Bodyguard .38+P is my sentimental favorite. Shoots Remington 158gr+P LSWCHPs to exact POA. If I could keep only one J-frame, that would be it.
For a BUG in the pocket, though, or when traveling and bringing a pistol in checked luggage, it's always either a 642 or a 340PD, both with Crimson Trace grips.
"Therefore, since the world has still... Much good, but much less good than ill,
And while the sun and moon endure, Luck's a chance, but trouble's sure,
I'd face it as a wise man would, And train for ill and not for good." -- A.E. Housman
I have been on a J frame collecting kick for several years. After amassing a collection of steel, aluminum and scandium framed guns with traditional, "hump-back", and concealed hammers, i can confidently render the informed opinion that the 442 is for my purposes, the best of breed.

My only one is a 642-1, so I guess that's my favorite. APEX kit, CTC grips, and orange paint front/sharpie rear makes for a useful setup. It's lived in my pocket pretty much daily since I settled into a holster (Kramer), and I've also got a BobMac's SN-2 for it in case I need to carry it IWB.

My favorite is a relatively minty 1976 36-1 3" HB RB chief (AkA the Frank McGee NY special) That my dad bought when he was receiving death threats, that he later gave to me on my 21st birthday when I got my CCWs in two states. I'll never part with it.
That said, it's long been safed in favor of a no-lock 642, just like the one that will be in half the pics on this thread. I'm about to grab a quick nap, and I can see the 642 on a low shelf next to me as we speak. It's a likable little guy, even if it doesn't have the same sentimental value as my first...
