CAN WE GET A DOUBLE OR TRIPLE LIKE BUTTON!I'm a J-frame fan. Here's a few of my favorites. Some aren't really Jays, but they're close enough.View attachment 100175

You are correct; they are K-frames.Think that the Model 17 and 617 are K-frames, not J.
I have the Model 36 and the Model 60 (pinned/recessed) for discrete carry and they are utterly dependable
I've never put .357s through my 640, only high pressure .38s. I'm pretty confident with the .38s but there's always this little doubt in the back of my mind that MAYBE I should spring for some .357s and start practicing with those again. I've got a little Smith 637 and I've put thousands of rnds through it, some regular but many +p. Mainly, I switched to the heavier 640 because I'm starting to develop arthritis and shooting the 637 became a painful ordeal. That keeps me from really trying out or practicing the .357. But if my hands can handle it and the difference is worth it in a self-defense scenario, I'll definitely switch.From what I've read, there is most definitely still a ballistic advantage to .357 Magnum. However, from what I've experienced, I don't know if it's worth the increase in recoil, flash, and shot-shot speed. In a short barreled, and lightweight, revolver I'd probably just carry .38+P; UNLESS I'd shot that gun enough to know I could handle the recoil well enough to keep accuracy and speed up.
Probably the quickest way to tell is if you try and rapid fire it, do you have to constantly readjust your grip?
