For carry the S&W 640 is really nice.

I prefer S&W. My everyday carry is a 640 with Speer Gold Dot 38 + P ammo.

Or have ever fired a short barreled 357 in low light. Even +P is bad. I fired a 2-1/2 M19 in low light once. The muzzle blast made it very hard to see for a while. Personally I would love to have a good 38+P J frame in stainless with a 3 in barrel. No barrel lug and with fixed sights. To me that would be the perfect carry gun.

I do know Rick, this one is pretty well balanced with a full underlug. Model 60-4 Just sayin....

L-frame S&W. It's what I carry.

Looks nice I am just not a fan of the extra weight out front on a carry gun. The times through the years that I have carried a small 38 I have preferred close to a factory standard load pushing semi-wadcutter hollow points. Not a lot of "knock down power" but accurate, mild muzzle flash and easier for on target follow up shots.

Why in the hell would you want one of those damned ol' antiques. They only hold 5 or 6 rounds plus they're ugly to boot. Especially those older Smith & Wessons. P-U!

Stick with the latest polymer pistol with a bucket of bullets under it.

And leave the J frames to people like you????
