638 Club

[Alnamvet68]

The 642 has had three threads dedicated to the 642, of which I own several examples of, Now it's time for the 638 Club. Please post your "Camelbacks" and briefly tell us why you favor the 38 over other J frames.

The Ugly Betty of the S&W J frame lineup, and nobody owns one?

Count me in! Mine is my edc. The single action breaks like glass and is sometimes fun for the range.

Wife's choice for her Pistol Packin' Mama purse-carry where there's the potential for shooting from within, it matches my hammer-version perfectly so she can pick up either and shoot with confidence. It's a perfect pairing.

These are such an under-rated pairing in the day of modern semi-auto poodle-shooters (by which I mean the .32 ACP and .380 plastic pistols) that it's remarkable. An excellent choice for CCW.

YEP.
IT is always my pocket gun around the ranchita. As far as revolvers go, it is about as appealing as a manure sandwich.

Sorry...no 638 here...just my 1965 Model 38 Airweight, since equipped with a Tyler T grip, and frequent resident of my pocket.
I think it's pretty nice looking.

This is my Model 638...


along with its older and bigger (only in weight that is), Model 649 brother.

I'll join. Mine is a -1 with standard black plastic boot grips.

Im in. I think its a perfect revolver for the pocket. Its pleasant to shoot, and the sights are perfect at 15 yards. I have a Crimson Trace grip on it now, and when the urge hits me to carry a revolver, it gets the nod over several other snubbies I have in my collection.
