Yeah, I really love those S&W J-frames. They just feel right in my hand and offer a good combination of fire power and portability for self defense.
I have a nickel Model 36 2" from around 1982, a no-lock 662, and got a no-lock 442 for my daughter.
I had an immaculate blued Model 36 that was made in 1962 (photos below), but just sold it to another member of the S&W Forum to raise some funds for the dog rescue we run, and because it was just too perfect and beautiful to carry.
Where weight and size aren't quite as much of a concern, a beautiful .357 nickel S&W Model 19-2 with 2 1/2 inch barrel likes to go with me.
