Great revolver - 38s were easy and 357s didn't get to me until 50 or so rounds.
However, you lose what I like a J-frame for, lightweight and pocket carry with a no snag draw. It's just too heavy for pocket carry in ways my 442 or MP340 can be.
Sure you can IWB / OWB it, but then you can just as easily carry a subcompact semi that way, which beats a 640 on many levels. OWB J-frame carry is a "WUT" for me.
JMO.
Yeah carrying a J-Frame in a belt holster is only something I saw in the 1980’s and early 1990’s. The chief in my home town wore a model 36 Chief’s Special in a belt pancake style holster. That and detectives on TV like Andy Sipowicz.

"Real men have always needed to know what time it is so they are at the airfield on time, pumping rounds into savages at the right time, etc. Being able to see such in the dark while light weights were comfy in bed without using a light required luminous material." -Originally Posted by ramairthree
