[QUOTE="Glock 'em down, post: 987052, member: 684"] I would suggest that you look around and find an "older"ALL stainless J frame...maybe a model 60, 640 or 649. Their Airweight stainless cylinder/barrel/crane counterparts (637, 642, 638) are "ok" too, but I would avoid them...especially the "newer" Airweights. Here's why... The stainless steel models I mentioned first are all stainless steel. The stainless Airweights, while they do carry a lot more comfy than the all steel models, have some type of matte finish that tends to come off rather easily when exposed to sweat and/or solvents. You might wanna keep that in mind. A lot of this depends on how you are gonna tote it as well. If it's gonna be in a good [B]QUALITY[/B] OWB or IWB holster, you should be ok. Just wear a "wifebeater" shirt or something to give your mighty J frame a "barrier" from your sweaty corpse. And for the record, [B][I]NOBODY[/I][/B] sweats more than I do! :sweat: And I've been carrying an Airweight Bodyguard (circa 1985) with blued barrel, cylinder, crane since October 2008 in a DeSantis "Nemesis" pocket holster, and just recently in a Milt Sparks PCH-R pocket holster. There is not one, single speck of rust on the steel parts ANYWHERE! As for the frame? Well, this Bodyguard is one of the older ones (1985) that has the glossy finish on all the aluminum parts like S&W used to do. :rolleyes2 Any other ??? just ask! :thumb: [/QUOTE]
