I'm not a fan of alloy j frames.
I still heve my 70s era M60. I've retired it but I carried it for 30 or so years.
Carried a M640 and a M649 that was issued.
I carried a Taurus 85 for awhile. Not now as I gave it to my daughter.
I've carried a Charter Undercover on occasion.
Now my j frame 38 is a Taurus Ultra Lite. Alloy frame but weighs about the same as my M60.
I felt confident with them all.
The j frame 38 will be around forever. Many flavors. Whatever floats your boat.
