What is your favorite J frame?

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

With a steady diet of magnum loads, right?

[Hi-Point Aficionado]

Edit for something resembling content: I hate shooting alloy framed snubbies. Give me some steel to soak up recoil as best it can and let me on my standard pressure way. And bobbed hammers work fine for me.

Not an f'ing chance. I think it was stupid to even chamber it in .357. I do also have my "house gun" that is a 340 M&P with a titanium cylinder you can try with some real hot loads if you want. 11 ounces.....how bad could it be....

Velo Dog gets a bonus for using the words "high horn". A definite snubby sophisticate.

Like an idiot, I sold my MP340. I may pick up another. Anyways, when I did own it I attempted to shoot a full cylinder worth of full house .357. Took me like 10-minutes to shoot three rounds. I couldn't shake off the third round and surrendered the "man card." Never felt something so painful in my hand.

My favorite is a 638. I want a no-lock 638, but haven't found one yet.

I've only ever owned one, a blue steel model 36 which was my first BUG. Unfortunately, I sold it in the mid 90's when I traded it in toward a G26 for ankle / back up carry. (Couldn't afford or justify keeping both at the time. Hindsight, is 20-20 with deeper pockets.)

Pardon the drift thread, but damn, the G26 came out 20 years ago?

Back to the thread: 642, just need one without a lock.

Yep. I bought mine in 1995 or 1996. (My 19 in '88 or '89.)

Which ever one I have on me. A 640 no dash or a square butt 36 bobbed hammer no dash.

I remember it being introduced vividly. Just surprised it was 20 years ago.

To revise and extend my remark: I'd like no lock, but also an ejector rod long enough to clear the spent brass from the cylinder. If that took a 3" barrel I'd be ok with it. Am I doing it wrong?
