I was cruising through the classifieds this evening when a deep thought entered my head. It was fairly easy to recognize as a deep thought because they are so few and far between.
There have been several J frames listed, and invariably it is noted that they are low round count. My question is, have you ever heard of a high round count J frame? I’ve had my 640 for about thirty to thirty-two years. I’ve been abysmal at being a round counter, so spitballing I probably only have between three and five hundred rounds through it. Personally I don’t think that’s a particularly high count amortized over time. It’s probably seen more range ammo than anything. I used to burn my EDC rounds about every five or six months depending on what I’d been up to. Five shots of hot Corbon .357 without a numbing adrenaline dump is kind of existential. So what do you all consider a high round count pocket snubby?
