[QUOTE="flatwins, post: 786371, member: 5655"] Warning! This is a very dangerous road on which you are about to embark. There is no turning back. S&W has changed their numbering system several times over the years but the basic J frame is the same. There are some hammer differences with the various models- Some are normal exposed hammers, others are shrouded while some Js have a totally enclosed hammer and are thus double action only. Personally (though I don't own one), I like the old school model 38. Not pretty, but a good compromise in a carry gun. They still make it today but with the @@##$ lock. It's known as the 438 or 638, depending on finish. [/QUOTE]
